ext4: fix racy use-after-free in ext4_end_io_dio()
ext4_end_io_dio() queues io_end->work and then clears iocb->private;
however, io_end->work calls aio_complete() which frees the iocb
object. If that slab object gets reallocated, then ext4_end_io_dio()
can end up clearing someone else's iocb->private, this use-after-free
can cause a leak of a struct ext4_io_end_t structure.
Detected and tested with slab poisoning.
[ Note: Can also reproduce using 12 fio's against 12 file systems with the
following configuration file:
[global]
direct=1
ioengine=libaio
iodepth=1
bs=4k
ba=4k
size=128m
[create]
filename=${TESTDIR}
rw=write
