mm/mempolicy: Take VMA lock before replacing policy
mbind() calls down into vma_replace_policy() without taking the per-VMA
locks, replaces the VMA's vma->vm_policy pointer, and frees the old
policy. That's bad; a concurrent page fault might still be using the
old policy (in vma_alloc_folio()), resulting in use-after-free.
Normally this will manifest as a use-after-free read first, but it can
result in memory corruption, including because vma_alloc_folio() can
call mpol_cond_put() on the freed policy, which conditionally changes
the policy's refcount member.
This bug is specific to CONFIG_NUMA, but it does also affect non-NUMA
systems as long as the kernel was built with CONFIG_NUMA.
