net: qrtr: fix refcount saturation and potential UAF in qrtr_port_remove

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

net: qrtr: fix refcount saturation and potential UAF in qrtr_port_remove

In qrtr_port_remove(), the socket reference count is decremented via
__sock_put() before the port is removed from the qrtr_ports XArray and
before the RCU grace period elapses.

This breaks the fundamental RCU update paradigm. It exposes a race
window where a concurrent RCU reader (such as qrtr_reset_ports() or
qrtr_port_lookup()) can obtain a pointer to the socket from the XArray,
and attempt to call sock_hold() on a socket whose reference count has
already dropped to zero.

This exact race condition was hit during syzkaller fuzzing, leading to
the following refcount saturation warning and a potential Use-After-Free:

  refcount_t: saturated; leaking memory.

   </TASK>

Fix this by deferring the reference count decrement until after the
xa_erase() and the synchronize_rcu() complete.

(Note: The v1 of this patch incorrectly replaced __sock_put() with
sock_put(). As Simon Horman pointed out, the callers of qrtr_port_remove()
still hold a reference to the socket, so freeing the socket memory here
would lead to a subsequent UAF in the caller. Thus, the __sock_put() is
kept, but only repositioned to close the RCU race.)

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 Any operations using the original pointer are no longer valid because the memory "belongs" to the code that operates on the new pointer.
