ceph: fix UAF in check_new_map() on session freed during unlock

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

ceph: fix UAF in check_new_map() on session freed during unlock

check_new_map() iterates mdsc->sessions[] and for each active session
drops mdsc->mutex to perform per-session operations.  The forced-close
path (rank removed from map) correctly takes a reference on s via
ceph_get_mds_session() before releasing mdsc->mutex, but three other
paths do not:

  Path A (address changed):  mutex_unlock → mutex_lock(&s->s_mutex)
  Path B (reconnect):        mutex_unlock → send_mds_reconnect(mdsc, s)
  Path C (active transition): mutex_unlock → mutex_lock(&s->s_mutex)

Without the extra reference, another thread can acquire mdsc->mutex
during the unlock window, call __unregister_session() which drops the
last reference on s, and free it.  The original thread then accesses
freed memory via s->s_mutex.

Fix by adding ceph_get_mds_session(s) before each mutex_unlock and
ceph_put_mds_session(s) after the corresponding mutex_lock, matching
the pattern already used in the forced-close path.

Race timeline (Path A):

  Thread A (check_new_map)             Thread B (another map update
    holds mdsc->mutex                      or session teardown)
  --------------------------           --------------------------
  s = mdsc->sessions[i]
  (refcount == 1, held only by
   sessions[] array)

  mutex_unlock(&mdsc->mutex)
                               --->    acquires mdsc->mutex
                                       __unregister_session(mdsc, s)
                                         sessions[i] = NULL
                                         ceph_put_mds_session(s)
                                           refcount: 1 -> 0
                                           kfree(s)  <--- freed!

  mutex_lock(&s->s_mutex)
  UAF on freed s->s_mutex
