What it is

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

srcu: Tighten cleanup_srcu_struct() GP checks

Currently, cleanup_srcu_struct() checks for a grace period in progress,

but it does not check for a grace period that has not yet started but

which might start at any time. Such a situation could result in a

use-after-free bug, so this commit adds a check for a grace period that

is needed but not yet started to cleanup_srcu_struct().
