Chi Zhiling reported:

  We found a null pointer accessing in tracefs[1], the reason is that the
  variable 'ei_child' is set to LIST_POISON1, that means the list was
  removed in eventfs_remove_rec. so when access the ei_child->is_freed, the
  panic triggered.

  by the way, the following script can reproduce this panic

  loop1 (){
      while true
      do
          echo "p:kp submit_bio" > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events
          echo "" > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events
      done
  }
  loop2 (){
      while true
      do
          tree /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kprobes/
      done
  }
  loop1 &
  loop2

The issue is that list_del() is used on an SRCU protected list variable
before the synchronization occurs. This can poison the list pointers while
there is a reader iterating the list.

This is simply fixed by using list_del_rcu() that is specifically made for
this purpose.

I forgot to add:

I'll add it when I apply it.
