sched/fair: Don't free p->numa_faults with concurrent readers
commit 16d51a590a8ce3befb1308e0e7ab77f3b661af33 upstream.
When going through execve(), zero out the NUMA fault statistics instead of
freeing them.
During execve, the task is reachable through procfs and the scheduler. A
concurrent /proc/*/sched reader can read data from a freed ->numa_faults
allocation (confirmed by KASAN) and write it back to userspace.
I believe that it would also be possible for a use-after-free read to occur
through a race between a NUMA fault and execve(): task_numa_fault() can
lead to task_numa_compare(), which invokes task_weight() on the currently
running task of a different CPU.
Another way to fix this would be to make ->numa_faults RCU-managed or add
extra locking, but it seems easier to wipe the NUMA fault statistics on
execve.
