f2fs: fix UAF caused by decrementing sbi->nr_pages[] in f2fs_write_end_io()

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

f2fs: fix UAF caused by decrementing sbi->nr_pages[] in f2fs_write_end_io()

The xfstests case "generic/107" and syzbot have both reported a NULL
pointer dereference.

The concurrent scenario that triggers the panic is as follows:

F2FS_WB_CP_DATA write callback          umount
                                        - f2fs_write_checkpoint
                                         - f2fs_wait_on_all_pages(sbi, F2FS_WB_CP_DATA)
- blk_mq_end_request
 - bio_endio
  - f2fs_write_end_io
   : dec_page_count(sbi, F2FS_WB_CP_DATA)
   : wake_up(&sbi->cp_wait)
                                        - kill_f2fs_super
                                         - kill_block_super
                                          - f2fs_put_super
                                           : iput(sbi->node_inode)
                                           : sbi->node_inode = NULL
   : f2fs_in_warm_node_list
    - is_node_folio // sbi->node_inode is NULL and panic

The root cause is that f2fs_put_super() calls iput(sbi->node_inode) and
sets sbi->node_inode to NULL after sbi->nr_pages[F2FS_WB_CP_DATA] is
decremented to zero. As a result, f2fs_in_warm_node_list() may
dereference a NULL node_inode when checking whether a folio belongs to
the node inode, leading to a panic.

This patch fixes the issue by calling f2fs_in_warm_node_list() before
decrementing sbi->nr_pages[F2FS_WB_CP_DATA], thus preventing the
use-after-free condition.

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 Any operations using the original pointer are no longer valid because the memory "belongs" to the code that operates on the new pointer.
