commit 390031c942116d4733310f0684beb8db19885fe6 upstream. Matthew Wilcox reported that there is a missing mmap_lock in file_files_note that could possibly lead to a user after free. Solve this by using the existing vma snapshot for consistency and to avoid the need to take the mmap_lock anywhere in the coredump code except for dump_vma_snapshot. Update the dump_vma_snapshot to capture vm_pgoff and vm_file that are neeeded by fill_files_note. Add free_vma_snapshot to free the captured values of vm_file.

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.
