EROFS may encounter above panic when enabling file-backed mount w/
directio mount option, the root cause is it may suffer UAF in below
race condition:

- z_erofs_read_folio                          wq s_dio_done_wq
 - z_erofs_runqueue
  - erofs_fileio_submit_bio
   - erofs_fileio_rq_submit
    - vfs_iocb_iter_read
     - ext4_file_read_iter
      - ext4_dio_read_iter
       - iomap_dio_rw
       : bio was submitted and return -EIOCBQUEUED
                                              - dio_aio_complete_work
                                               - dio_complete
                                                - dio->iocb->ki_complete (erofs_fileio_ki_complete())
                                                 - kfree(rq)
                                                 : it frees iocb, iocb.ki_filp can be UAF in file_accessed().
       - file_accessed
       : access NULL file point

Introduce a reference count in struct erofs_fileio_rq, and initialize it
as two, both erofs_fileio_ki_complete() and erofs_fileio_rq_submit() will
decrease reference count, the last one decreasing the reference count
to zero will free rq.

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 Any operations using the original pointer are no longer valid because the memory "belongs" to the code that operates on the new pointer.
