Subject: [PATCH v3] sched/psi: fix use-after-free in ep_remove_wait_queue()

If a non-root cgroup gets removed when there is a thread that registered
trigger and is polling on a pressure file within the cgroup, the polling
waitqueue gets freed in the following path.

 do_rmdir
   cgroup_rmdir
     kernfs_drain_open_files
       cgroup_file_release
         cgroup_pressure_release
           psi_trigger_destroy

However, the polling thread still has a reference to the pressure file and
will access the freed waitqueue when the file is closed or upon exit.

 fput
   ep_eventpoll_release
     ep_free
       ep_remove_wait_queue
         remove_wait_queue

This results in use-after-free as pasted below.

The fundamental problem here is that cgroup_file_release() (and
consequently waitqueue's lifetime) is not tied to the file's real lifetime.
Using wake_up_pollfree() here might be less than ideal, but it also is not
fully contradicting the comment at commit 42288cb44c4b ("wait: add
wake_up_pollfree()") since the waitqueue's lifetime is not tied to file's
one and can be considered as another special case. While this would be
fixable by somehow making cgroup_file_release() be tied to the fput(), it
would require sizable refactoring at cgroups or higher layer which might be
more justifiable if we identify more cases like this.
