Workqueue: events_unbound kfree_rcu_monitor
<snip> kfree_rcu_monitor() rearms the work if a "krcp" has to be still
offloaded and this is done without holding krcp->lock, whereas
the kvfree_call_rcu() holds it. Fix it by acquiring the "krcp->lock" for kfree_rcu_monitor() so
both functions do not race anymore.

Attila Szász discovered that the HFS+ file system implementation in the Linux Kernel contained a heap overflow vulnerability. An attacker could use a specially crafted file system image that, when mounted, could cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code. Several security issues were discovered in the Linux kernel. An attacker could possibly use these to compromise the system.
