CVE-2022-48872

Vulnerability Description

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

misc: fastrpc: Fix use-after-free race condition for maps

It is possible that in between calling fastrpc_map_get() until
map->fl->lock is taken in fastrpc_free_map(), another thread can call
fastrpc_map_lookup() and get a reference to a map that is about to be
deleted.

Rewrite fastrpc_map_get() to only increase the reference count of a map
if it's non-zero. Propagate this to callers so they can know if a map is
about to be deleted.

Fixes this warning:
refcount_t: addition on 0; use-after-free.
WARNING: CPU: 5 PID: 10100 at lib/refcount.c:25 refcount_warn_saturate
