yanghui 276aeee1c5 mm/mempolicy: fix a race between offset_il_node and mpol_rebind_task
Servers happened below panic:

  Kernel version:5.4.56
  BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: 0000000000002c48
  RIP: 0010:__next_zones_zonelist+0x1d/0x40
  Call Trace:
    __alloc_pages_nodemask+0x277/0x310
    alloc_page_interleave+0x13/0x70
    handle_mm_fault+0xf99/0x1390
    __do_page_fault+0x288/0x500
    do_page_fault+0x30/0x110
    page_fault+0x3e/0x50

The reason for the panic is that MAX_NUMNODES is passed in the third
parameter in __alloc_pages_nodemask(preferred_nid).  So access to
zonelist->zoneref->zone_idx in __next_zones_zonelist will cause a panic.

In offset_il_node(), first_node() returns nid from pol->v.nodes, after
this other threads may chang pol->v.nodes before next_node().  This race
condition will let next_node return MAX_NUMNODES.  So put pol->nodes in
a local variable.

The race condition is between offset_il_node and cpuset_change_task_nodemask:

  CPU0:                                     CPU1:
  alloc_pages_vma()
    interleave_nid(pol,)
      offset_il_node(pol,)
        first_node(pol->v.nodes)            cpuset_change_task_nodemask
                        //nodes==0xc          mpol_rebind_task
                                                mpol_rebind_policy
                                                  mpol_rebind_nodemask(pol,nodes)
                        //nodes==0x3
        next_node(nid, pol->v.nodes)//return MAX_NUMNODES

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
