[ Upstream commit 14fbbc8297728e880070f7b077b3301a8c698ef9 ]

Commit b0841eefd969 ("configfs: provide exclusion between IO and removals")
uses ->frag_dead to mark the fragment state, thus no bothering with extra
refcount on config_item when opening a file. The configfs_get_config_item
was removed in __configfs_open_file, but not with config_item_put. So the
refcount on config_item will lost its balance, causing use-after-free
issues in some occasions like this:

Test:
1. Mount configfs on /config with read-only items:
drwxrwx--- 289 root   root            0 2021-04-01 11:55 /config
drwxr-xr-x   2 root   root            0 2021-04-01 11:54 /config/a
--w--w--w-   1 root   root         4096 2021-04-01 11:53 /config/a/1.txt
......

2. Then run:
for file in /config
do
echo $file
grep -R 'key' $file
done

3. __configfs_open_file will be called in parallel, the first one
got called will do:
if (file->f_mode & FMODE_READ) {
	if (!(inode->i_mode & S_IRUGO))
		goto out_put_module;
			config_item_put(buffer->item);
				kref_put()
					package_details_release()
						kfree()

the other one will run into use-after-free issues like this:

To fix this issue, remove the config_item_put in
__configfs_open_file to balance the refcount of config_item.
