rpmsg: ctrl: Add lock to rpmsg_ctrldev_remove
Call to rpmsg_ctrldev_ioctl() and rpmsg_ctrldev_remove() must be synchronized. In present code rpmsg_ctrldev_remove() is not protected with lock, therefore new char device creation can succeed through rpmsg_ctrldev_ioctl() call. At the same time call to rpmsg_ctrldev_remove() function for ctrl device removal will free associated rpdev device. As char device creation already succeeded, user space is free to issue open() call which maps to rpmsg_create_ept() in kernel. rpmsg_create_ept() function tries to reference rpdev which has already been freed through rpmsg_ctrldev_remove(). Issue is predominantly seen in aggressive reboot tests where rpmsg_ctrldev_ioctl() and rpmsg_ctrldev_remove() can race with each other. Adding lock in rpmsg_ctrldev_remove() avoids any new char device creation through rpmsg_ctrldev_ioctl() while remove call is already in progress.
