CVE-2024-26878

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

quota: Fix potential NULL pointer dereference

Below race may cause NULL pointer dereference

P1					P2
dquot_free_inode			quota_off
					  drop_dquot_ref
					   remove_dquot_ref
					   dquots = i_dquot(inode)
  dquots = i_dquot(inode)
  srcu_read_lock
  dquots[cnt]) != NULL (1)
					     dquots[type] = NULL (2)
  spin_lock(&dquots[cnt]->dq_dqb_lock) (3)
   ....

If dquot_free_inode(or other routines) checks inode's quota pointers (1)
before quota_off sets it to NULL(2) and use it (3) after that, NULL pointer
dereference will be triggered.

So let's fix it by using a temporary pointer to avoid this issue.

CWE-362 Concurrent Execution using Shared Resource with Improper Synchronization ('Race Condition')

The product contains a concurrent code sequence that requires temporary, exclusive access to a shared resource, but a timing window exists in which the shared resource can be modified by another code sequence operating concurrently.

CWE-476 NULL Pointer Dereference

The product dereferences a pointer that it expects to be valid but is NULL.
