io_uring/rsrc: don't lock while !TASK_RUNNING

CVE-2024-40922

Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

io_uring/rsrc: don't lock while !TASK_RUNNING

There is a report of io_rsrc_ref_quiesce() locking a mutex while not TASK_RUNNING, which is due to forgetting restoring the state back after io_run_task_work_sig() and attempts to break out of the waiting loop.

do not call blocking ops when !TASK_RUNNING; state=1 set at [] prepare_to_wait+0xa4/0x380 kernel/sched/wait.c:237 WARNING: CPU: 2 PID: 397056 at kernel/sched/core.c:10099 __might_sleep+0x114/0x160 kernel/sched/core.c:10099 RIP: 0010:__might_sleep+0x114/0x160 kernel/sched/core.c:10099 Call Trace:
