Subject[PATCH 4.19,v3] VFS: Fix memory leak caused by concurrently mounting fs with subtype
Date
If two processes mount same superblock, memory leak occurs:

CPU0 | CPU1
do_new_mount | do_new_mount
fs_set_subtype | fs_set_subtype
kstrdup |
| kstrdup
memrory leak |

The following reproducer triggers the problem:

1. shell command: mount -t ntfs /dev/sda1 /mnt &
2. c program: mount("/dev/sda1", "/mnt", "fuseblk", 0, "...")

with kmemleak report being along the lines of

unreferenced object 0xffff888235f1a5c0 (size 8):
comm "mount.ntfs", pid 2860, jiffies 4295757824 (age 43.423s)
hex dump (first 8 bytes):
00 a5 f1 35 82 88 ff ff ...5....

Linus's tree already have refactoring patchset [1], one of them can fix this bug:
c30da2e981a7 ("fuse: convert to use the new mount API")
After refactoring, init super_block->s_subtype in fuse_fill_super.

Since we did not merge the refactoring patchset in this branch, I create this patch.
This patch fix this by adding a write lock while calling fs_set_subtype.
