stable inclusion from linux-4.19.142 commit 4957d56414ff5ca8fe62f8f11f0f9814f35b1d11
--------------------------------
commit a9ed4a6560b8562b7e2e2bed9527e88001f7b682 upstream.
When adding a new fd to an epoll, and that this new fd is an epoll fd itself, we recursively scan the fds attached to it to detect cycles, and add non-epool files to a "check list" that gets subsequently parsed.
However, this check list isn't completely safe when deletions can happen concurrently. To sidestep the issue, make sure that a struct file placed on the check list sees its f_count increased, ensuring that a concurrent deletion won't result in the file disapearing from under our feet.
