CVE-2022-49079
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

btrfs: zoned: traverse devices under chunk_mutex in btrfs_can_activate_zone

btrfs_can_activate_zone() can be called with the device_list_mutex already
held, which will lead to a deadlock:

insert_dev_extents() // Takes device_list_mutex
`-> insert_dev_extent()
 `-> btrfs_insert_empty_item()
  `-> btrfs_insert_empty_items()
   `-> btrfs_search_slot()
    `-> btrfs_cow_block()
     `-> __btrfs_cow_block()
      `-> btrfs_alloc_tree_block()
       `-> btrfs_reserve_extent()
        `-> find_free_extent()
         `-> find_free_extent_update_loop()
          `-> can_allocate_chunk()
           `-> btrfs_can_activate_zone() // Takes device_list_mutex again

Instead of using the RCU on fs_devices->device_list we
can use fs_devices->alloc_list, protected by the chunk_mutex to traverse
the list of active devices.

We are in the chunk allocation thread. The newer chunk allocation
happens from the devices in the fs_device->alloc_list protected by the
chunk_mutex.

  btrfs_create_chunk()
    lockdep_assert_held(&info->chunk_mutex);
    gather_device_info
      list_for_each_entry(device, &fs_devices->alloc_list, dev_alloc_list)

Also, a device that reappears after the mount won't join the alloc_list
yet and, it will be in the dev_list, which we don't want to consider in
the context of the chunk alloc.
