[PATCH 0/1][SRU][B/C/D/Unstable] CVE-2019-8980 - VFS memory leak

[Tyler Hicks]

https://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-security/cve/?cve=CVE-2019-8980

 A memory leak in the kernel_read_file function in fs/exec.c in the Linux
 kernel through 4.20.11 allows attackers to cause a denial of service
 (memory consumption) by triggering vfs_read failures.

Clean cherry pick. Build logs are clean. Smoke tested by booting Bionic and
Cosmic test kernels.
