device_cgroup: fix RCU usage
commit 201e72acb2d3821e2de9ce6091e98859c316b29a upstream.
dev_cgroup->exceptions is protected with devcgroup_mutex for writes
and RCU for reads; however, RCU usage isn't correct.
* dev_exception_clean() doesn't use RCU variant of list_del() and
kfree(). The function can race with may_access() and may_access()
may end up dereferencing already freed memory. Use list_del_rcu()
and kfree_rcu() instead.
* may_access() may be called only with RCU read locked but doesn't use
RCU safe traversal over ->exceptions. Use list_for_each_entry_rcu().
