SUNRPC: make sure cache entry active before cache_show

CVE-2024-53174

Description

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

SUNRPC: make sure cache entry active before cache_show

The function c_show was called with protection from RCU. This only ensures that cp will not be freed. Therefore, the reference count for cp can drop to zero, which will trigger a refcount use-after-free warning when cache_get is called. To resolve this issue, use cache_get_rcu to ensure that cp remains active.

------------[ cut here ]------------ refcount_t: addition on 0; use-after-free.
