CVE-2023-1611: Use After Free (CWE-416)
value: A use-after-free flaw was found in btrfs_search_slot in fs/btrfs/ctree.c in btrfs in the Linux Kernel.This flaw allows an attacker to crash the system and possibly cause a kernel information lea
CWE description: The product reuses or references memory after it has been freed. At some point afterward, the memory may be allocated again and saved in another pointer, while the original pointer references a location somewhere within the new allocation. Any operations using the original pointer are no longer valid because the memory "belongs" to the code that operates on the new pointer.

Commit message: btrfs: fix race between quota disable and quota assign ioctls

The quota assign ioctl can currently run in parallel with a quota disable
ioctl call. The assign ioctl uses the quota root, while the disable ioctl
frees that root, and therefore we can have a use-after-free triggered in
the assign ioctl, leading to a trace like the following when KASAN is
enabled:

Fix this by having the qgroup assign ioctl take the qgroup ioctl mutex
before calling btrfs_run_qgroups(), which is what all qgroup ioctls should
call.
