[PATCH 3.8 65/65] mm: rmap: fix use-after-free in __put_anon_vma

[Kamal Mostafa]

3.8.13.25 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Andrey Ryabinin <a.ryabinin at samsung.com>

commit 624483f3ea82598ab0f62f1bdb9177f531ab1892 upstream.

While working address sanitizer for kernel I've discovered
use-after-free bug in __put_anon_vma.

For the last anon_vma, anon_vma->root freed before child anon_vma.
Later in anon_vma_free(anon_vma) we are referencing to already freed
anon_vma->root to check rwsem.

This fixes it by freeing the child anon_vma before freeing
anon_vma->root.
