firmware loader: Fix the concurrent request_firmware() race for kref_get/put
There is one race that both request_firmware() with the same
firmware name.
The race scenerio is as below:
CPU1 CPU2
request_firmware() -->
_request_firmware_load() return err another request_firmware() is coming -->
_request_firmware_cleanup is called --> _request_firmware_prepare -->
release_firmware ---> fw_lookup_and_allocate_buf -->
spin_lock(&fwc->lock)
... __fw_lookup_buf() return true
fw_free_buf() will be called --> ...
kref_put -->
decrease the refcount to 0
kref_get(&tmp->ref) ==> it will trigger warning
due to refcount == 0
__fw_free_buf() -->
... spin_unlock(&fwc->lock)
spin_lock(&fwc->lock)
list_del(&buf->list)
spin_unlock(&fwc->lock)
kfree(buf)
After that, the freed buf will be used.
The key race is decreasing refcount to 0 and list_del is not protected together by
fwc->lock, and it is possible another thread try to get it between refcount==0
and list_del.
Fix it here to protect it together.
