CVE-2024-49867

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

btrfs: wait for fixup workers before stopping cleaner kthread during umount

During unmount, at close_ctree(), we have the following steps in this order:

1) Park the cleaner kthread - this doesn't destroy the kthread, it basically
   halts its execution (wake ups against it work but do nothing);

2) We stop the cleaner kthread - this results in freeing the respective
   struct task_struct;

3) We call btrfs_stop_all_workers() which waits for any jobs running in all
   the work queues and then free the work queues.

Syzbot reported a case where a fixup worker resulted in a crash when doing
a delayed iput on its inode while attempting to wake up the cleaner at
btrfs_add_delayed_iput(), because the task_struct of the cleaner kthread
was already freed. This can happen during unmount because we don't wait
for any fixup workers still running before we call kthread_stop() against
the cleaner kthread, which stops and free all its resources.

Fix this by waiting for any fixup workers at close_ctree() before we call
kthread_stop() against the cleaner and run pending delayed iputs.

The stack traces reported by syzbot were the following:
