fanotify: Fix stale file descriptor in copy_event_to_user()
commit ee12595147ac1fbfb5bcb23837e26dd58d94b15d upstream. This code calls fd_install() which gives the userspace access to the fd. Then if copy_info_records_to_user() fails it calls put_unused_fd(fd) but that will not release it and leads to a stale entry in the file descriptor table. Generally you can't trust the fd after a call to fd_install(). The fix is to delay the fd_install() until everything else has succeeded. Fortunately it requires CAP_SYS_ADMIN to reach this code so the security impact is less.
