CVE-2022-50422

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

scsi: libsas: Fix use-after-free bug in smp_execute_task_sg()

When executing SMP task failed, the smp_execute_task_sg() calls del_timer()
to delete "slow_task->timer". However, if the timer handler
sas_task_internal_timedout() is running, the del_timer() in
smp_execute_task_sg() will not stop it and a UAF will happen. The process
is shown below:

      (thread 1)               |        (thread 2)
smp_execute_task_sg()          | sas_task_internal_timedout()
 ...                           |
 del_timer()                   |
 ...                           |  ...
 sas_free_task(task)           |
  kfree(task->slow_task) //FREE|
                               |  task->slow_task->... //USE

Fix by calling del_timer_sync() in smp_execute_task_sg(), which makes sure
the timer handler have finished before the "task->slow_task" is
deallocated.
