Commit message: cgroup: verify that source is a string

The following sequence can be used to trigger a UAF:

    int fscontext_fd = fsopen("cgroup");
    int fd_null = open("/dev/null, O_RDONLY);
    int fsconfig(fscontext_fd, FSCONFIG_SET_FD, "source", fd_null);
    close_range(3, ~0U, 0);

The cgroup v1 specific fs parser expects a string for the "source"
parameter.  However, it is perfectly legitimate to e.g.  specify a file
descriptor for the "source" parameter.  The fs parser doesn't know what
a filesystem allows there.  So it's a bug to assume that "source" is
always of type fs_value_is_string when it can reasonably also be
fs_value_is_file.

This assumption in the cgroup code causes a UAF because struct
fs_parameter uses a union for the actual value.  Access to that union is
guarded by the param->type member.  Since the cgroup paramter parser
didn't check param->type but unconditionally moved param->string into
fc->source a close on the fscontext_fd would trigger a UAF during
put_fs_context() which frees fc->source thereby freeing the file stashed
in param->file causing a UAF during a close of the fd_null.

Fix this by verifying that param->type is actually a string and report
an error if not.

In follow up patches I'll add a new generic helper that can be used here
and by other filesystems instead of this error-prone copy-pasta fix.
But fixing it in here first makes backporting a it to stable a lot
easier.

CVE: CVE-2021-4154
CWE: CWE-416
Vulnerability description: A use-after-free flaw was found in cgroup1_parse_param in kernel/cgroup/cgroup-v1.c in the Linux kernel's cgroup v1 parser. A local attacker with a user privilege could cause a privilege escalation by exploiting the fsconfig syscall parameter leading to a container breakout and a denial of service on the system.
