io_uring/zcrx: fix user_ref race between scrub and refill paths

[ Upstream commit 003049b1c4fb8aabb93febb7d1e49004f6ad653b ]

The io_zcrx_put_niov_uref() function uses a non-atomic
check-then-decrement pattern (atomic_read followed by separate
atomic_dec) to manipulate user_refs. This is serialized against other
callers by rq_lock, but io_zcrx_scrub() modifies the same counter with
atomic_xchg() WITHOUT holding rq_lock.

On SMP systems, the following race exists:

  CPU0 (refill, holds rq_lock)          CPU1 (scrub, no rq_lock)
  put_niov_uref:
    atomic_read(uref) - 1
    // window opens
                                        atomic_xchg(uref, 0) - 1
                                        return_niov_freelist(niov) [PUSH #1]
    // window closes
    atomic_dec(uref) - wraps to -1
    returns true
    return_niov(niov)
    return_niov_freelist(niov)           [PUSH #2: DOUBLE-FREE]

The same niov is pushed to the freelist twice, causing free_count to
exceed nr_iovs. Subsequent freelist pushes then perform an out-of-bounds
write (a u32 value) past the kvmalloc'd freelist array into the adjacent
slab object.

Fix this by replacing the non-atomic read-then-dec in
io_zcrx_put_niov_uref() with an atomic_try_cmpxchg loop that atomically
tests and decrements user_refs. This makes the operation safe against
concurrent atomic_xchg from scrub without requiring scrub to acquire
rq_lock.
