fs/9p: avoid accessing utsname after namespace has been torn down
During trinity fuzzing in a kvmtool guest, I stumbled across the following: Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000004 PC is at v9fs_file_do_lock+0xc8/0x1a0 LR is at v9fs_file_do_lock+0x48/0x1a0 [<c01e2ed0>] (v9fs_file_do_lock+0xc8/0x1a0) from [<c0119154>] (locks_remove_flock+0x8c/0x124) [<c0119154>] (locks_remove_flock+0x8c/0x124) from [<c00d9bf0>] (__fput+0x58/0x1e4) [<c00d9bf0>] (__fput+0x58/0x1e4) from [<c0044340>] (task_work_run+0xac/0xe8) [<c0044340>] (task_work_run+0xac/0xe8) from [<c002e36c>] (do_exit+0x6bc/0x8d8) [<c002e36c>] (do_exit+0x6bc/0x8d8) from [<c002e674>] (do_group_exit+0x3c/0xb0) [<c002e674>] (do_group_exit+0x3c/0xb0) from [<c002e6f8>] (__wake_up_parent+0x0/0x18) I believe this is due to an attempt to access utsname()->nodename, after exit_task_namespaces() has been called, leaving current->nsproxy->uts_ns as NULL and causing the above dereference. A similar issue was fixed for lockd in 9a1b6bf818e7 ("LOCKD: Don't call utsname()->nodename from nlmclnt_setlockargs"), so this patch attempts something similar for 9pfs.
