Pei XiaoandGreg Kroah-Hartman 7d3a708af7 ipack: ipoctal: add rwsem to guard against TOCTOU in remove path
The "removed" flag check in each tty op has a TOCTOU race with
__ipoctal_remove(): the device could be removed between the flag
check and the subsequent access to hardware resources (channel
registers via iowrite8, or xmit_buf in write_tty).

Close this race by introducing a read-write semaphore (remove_sem).
The tty ops acquire the read lock via guard(rwsem_read) for the
full duration of the operation, while __ipoctal_remove() acquires
the write lock via scoped_guard(rwsem_write) when setting the
removed flag.  This ensures that once removed is true, no in-flight
tty op can still be accessing resources that are about to be freed
by the remove path.
