Subject: cifs: fix crash due to race in hmac(md5) handling

From: Rabin Vincent <[email protected]>

commit bd975d1eead2558b76e1079e861eacf1f678b73b upstream.

The secmech hmac(md5) structures are present in the TCP_Server_Info struct and can be shared among multiple CIFS sessions. However, the server mutex is not currently held when these structures are allocated and used, which can lead to a kernel crashes, as in the scenario below:

mount.cifs(8) #1 mount.cifs(8) #2

Is secmech.sdeschmaccmd5 allocated?
// false

						Is secmech.sdeschmaccmd5 allocated?
						// false

secmech.hmacmd = crypto_alloc_shash..
secmech.sdeschmaccmd5 = kzalloc..
sdeschmaccmd5->shash.tfm = &secmec.hmacmd;

						secmech.sdeschmaccmd5 = kzalloc
						// sdeschmaccmd5->shash.tfm
						// not yet assigned

crypto_shash_update()
deref NULL sdeschmaccmd5->shash.tfm

Fix this by locking the srv_mutex around the code which uses these hmac(md5) structures. All the other secmech algos already have similar locking.
