CVE-2023-53445

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

net: qrtr: Fix a refcount bug in qrtr_recvmsg()

Syzbot reported a bug as following:

refcount_t: addition on 0; use-after-free.
...
RIP: 0010:refcount_warn_saturate+0x17c/0x1f0 lib/refcount.c:25
...

It occurs in the concurrent scenario of qrtr_recvmsg() and
qrtr_endpoint_unregister() as following:

	cpu0					cpu1
qrtr_recvmsg				qrtr_endpoint_unregister
qrtr_send_resume_tx			qrtr_node_release
qrtr_node_lookup			mutex_lock(&qrtr_node_lock)
spin_lock_irqsave(&qrtr_nodes_lock, )	refcount_dec_and_test(&node->ref) [node->ref == 0]
radix_tree_lookup [node != NULL]	__qrtr_node_release
qrtr_node_acquire			spin_lock_irqsave(&qrtr_nodes_lock, )
kref_get(&node->ref) [WARNING]		...
					mutex_unlock(&qrtr_node_lock)

Use qrtr_node_lock to protect qrtr_node_lookup() implementation, this
is actually improving the protection of node reference.
