Kees Cook a318f12ed8 ipc/mqueue.c: only perform resource calculation if user valid
Andreas Christoforou reported:

  UBSAN: Undefined behaviour in ipc/mqueue.c:414:49 signed integer overflow:
  9 * 2305843009213693951 cannot be represented in type 'long int'
  ...
  Call Trace:
    mqueue_evict_inode+0x8e7/0xa10 ipc/mqueue.c:414
    evict+0x472/0x8c0 fs/inode.c:558
    iput_final fs/inode.c:1547 [inline]

    prepare_open ipc/mqueue.c:731 [inline]
    do_mq_open+0x6da/0x8e0 ipc/mqueue.c:771

Which could be triggered by:

        struct mq_attr attr = {
                .mq_flags = 0,
                .mq_maxmsg = 9,
                .mq_msgsize = 0x1fffffffffffffff,
                .mq_curmsgs = 0,
        };

        if (mq_open("/testing", 0x40, 3, &attr) == (mqd_t) -1)
                perror("mq_open");

mqueue_get_inode() was correctly rejecting the giant mq_msgsize, and
preparing to return -EINVAL.  During the cleanup, it calls
mqueue_evict_inode() which performed resource usage tracking math for
updating "user", before checking if there was a valid "user" at all
(which would indicate that the calculations would be sane).  Instead,
delay this check to after seeing a valid "user".

The overflow was real, but the results went unused, so while the flaw is
harmless, it's noisy for kernel fuzzers, so just fix it by moving the
calculation under the non-NULL "user" where it actually gets used.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
