f2fs: fix race conditions in ->d_compare() and ->d_hash()
Since ->d_compare() and ->d_hash() can be called in RCU-walk mode, ->d_parent and ->d_inode can be concurrently modified, and in particular, ->d_inode may be changed to NULL. For f2fs_d_hash() this resulted in a reproducible NULL dereference if a lookup is done in a directory being deleted, e.g. with: int main() { if (fork()) { for (;;) { mkdir("subdir", 0700); rmdir("subdir"); } } else { for (;;) access("subdir/file", 0); } } ... or by running the 't_encrypted_d_revalidate' program from xfstests. Both repros work in any directory on a filesystem with the encoding feature, even if the directory doesn't actually have the casefold flag. I couldn't reproduce a crash in f2fs_d_compare(), but it appears that a similar crash is possible there. Fix these bugs by reading ->d_parent and ->d_inode using READ_ONCE() and falling back to the case sensitive behavior if the inode is NULL.
