Subject[PATCH v2] padata: Fix the UAF issue related to parallel_data
In a high-load arm64 environment, the pcrypt_aead01 test in LTP can lead to
system UAF (Use-After-Free) issues. Due to the lengthy analysis of the
pcrypt_aead01 function call, I'll describe the problem scenario using a
simplified model:

Suppose there's a user of padata named `user_function` that adheres to
the padata requirement of calling `padata_free_shell` after `serial()`
has been invoked, as demonstrated in the following code:

```c
struct request {
struct padata_priv padata;
struct completion *done;
};

void parallel(struct padata_priv *padata) {
do_something();
}

void serial(struct padata_priv *padata) {
struct request *request = container_of(padata, struct request, padata);
complete(request->done);
}

void user_function() {
DECLARE_COMPLETION(done)
padata->parallel = parallel;
padata->serial = serial;
padata_do_parallel();
wait_for_completion(&done);
padata_free_shell();
}
```

In the corresponding padata.c file, there's the following code:

```c
static void padata_serial_worker(struct work_struct *serial_work) {
...
cnt = 0;

while (!list_empty(&local_list)) {
...
padata->serial(padata);
cnt++;
}

local_bh_enable();

if (refcount_sub_and_test(cnt, &pd->refcnt))
padata_free_pd(pd);
}
```

Because of the high system load and the accumulation of unexecuted
softirq at this moment, `local_bh_enable()` in padata takes longer
to execute than usual. Subsequently, when accessing `pd->refcnt`,
`pd` has already been released by `padata_free_shell()`, resulting
in a UAF issue with `pd->refcnt`.

The fix is straightforward: add `refcount_dec_and_test` before calling
`padata_free_pd` in `padata_free_shell`.
