CVE-2024-53216

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

nfsd: release svc_expkey/svc_export with rcu_work

The last reference for `cache_head` can be reduced to zero in `c_show`
and `e_show`(using `rcu_read_lock` and `rcu_read_unlock`). Consequently,
`svc_export_put` and `expkey_put` will be invoked, leading to two
issues:

1. The `svc_export_put` will directly free ex_uuid. However,
   `e_show`/`c_show` will access `ex_uuid` after `cache_put`, which can
   trigger a use-after-free issue, shown below.

2. We cannot sleep while using `rcu_read_lock`/`rcu_read_unlock`.
   However, `svc_export_put`/`expkey_put` will call path_put, which
   subsequently triggers a sleeping operation due to the following
   `dput`.

Fix these issues by using `rcu_work` to help release
`svc_expkey`/`svc_export`. This approach allows for an asynchronous
context to invoke `path_put` and also facilitates the freeing of
`uuid/exp/key` after an RCU grace period.

CWE-416 Use After Free

The product reuses or references memory after it has been freed. At some point afterward, the memory may be allocated again and saved in another pointer, while the original pointer references a location somewhere within the new allocation. Any operations using the original pointer are no longer valid because the memory "belongs" to the code that operates on the new pointer.
