batman-adv: Broken sync while rescheduling delayed work
Syzkaller got a lot of crashes like:
KASAN: use-after-free Write in *_timers*
All of these crashes point to the same memory area:
The buggy address belongs to the object at ffff88801f870000
which belongs to the cache kmalloc-8k of size 8192
The buggy address is located 5320 bytes inside of
8192-byte region [ffff88801f870000, ffff88801f872000)
This area belongs to :
batadv_priv->batadv_priv_dat->delayed_work->timer_list
The reason for these issues is the lack of synchronization. Delayed
work (batadv_dat_purge) schedules new timer/work while the device
is being deleted. As the result new timer/delayed work is set after
cancel_delayed_work_sync() was called. So after the device is freed
the timer list contains pointer to already freed memory.
