net/9p: fix double req put in p9fdcancelled

Syzkaller reports a KASAN issue as below:

general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address 0xfbd59c0000000021: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP KASAN NOPTI KASAN: maybe wild-memory-access in range [0xdead000000000108-0xdead00000000010f] CPU: 0 PID: 5083 Comm: syz-executor.2 Not tainted 6.1.134-syzkaller-00037-g855bd1d7d838 #0 Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS 1.12.0-1 04/01/2014 RIP: 0010:listdel include/linux/list.h:114 [inline] RIP: 0010:listdelentry include/linux/list.h:137 [inline] RIP: 0010:listdel include/linux/list.h:148 [inline] RIP: 0010:p9fdcancelled+0xe9/0x200 net/9p/transfd.c:734

This happens because of a race condition between:

- The 9p client sending an invalid flush request and later cleaning it up; - The 9p client in p9readwork() canceled all pending requests.

Thread 1 Thread 2 ... p9clientcreate() ... p9fdcreate() ... p9conncreate() ... // start Thread 2 INITWORK(&m->rq, p9readwork); p9readwork() ... p9clientrpc() ... ... p9conncancel() ... spinlock(&m->reqlock); ... p9fdcancelled() ... ... spinunlock(&m->reqlock); // status rewrite p9clientcb(m->client, req, REQSTATUSERROR) // first remove listdel(&req->reqlist); ...

spinlock(&m->reqlock) ... // second remove listdel(&req->reqlist); spinunlock(&m->reqlock) ...

Commit 74d6a5d56629 ("9p/transfd: Fix concurrency del of reqlist in p9fdcancelled/p9readwork") fixes a concurrency issue in the 9p filesystem client where the reqlist could be deleted simultaneously by both p9readwork and p9fdcancelled functions, but for the case where req->status equals REQSTATUSRCVD.

Update the check for req->status in p9fdcancelled to skip processing not just received requests, but anything that is not SENT, as whatever changed the state from SENT also removed the request from its list.

Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with Syzkaller.

[updated the check from status == RECV || status == ERROR to status != SENT]
