[lvc-project] [PATCH 5.10/5.15 1/1] ext4: fix timer use-after-free on failed mount

[d.privalov]

From: Xiaxi Shen <shenxiaxi26 at gmail.com>

commit 0ce160c5bdb67081a62293028dc85758a8efb22a upstream.

Syzbot has found an ODEBUG bug in ext4_fill_super

The del_timer_sync function cancels the s_err_report timer,
which reminds about filesystem errors daily. We should
guarantee the timer is no longer active before kfree(sbi).

When filesystem mounting fails, the flow goes to failed_mount3,
where an error occurs when ext4_stop_mmpd is called, causing
a read I/O failure. This triggers the ext4_handle_error function
that ultimately re-arms the timer,
leaving the s_err_report timer active before kfree(sbi) is called.

Fix the issue by canceling 
the s_err_report timer after calling ext4_stop_mmpd.
