Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

gfs2: fix quota init duplicate scan

gfs2_quota_init() checks for duplicate quota_change IDs while holding
qd_lock and the quota hash bucket bitlock. That path used
gfs2_qd_search_bucket(), which takes a lockref reference via
lockref_get_not_dead().

On PREEMPT_RT this may sleep, which is not allowed under the bucket
bitlock, triggering "sleeping function called from invalid context".

Use a no-ref bucket lookup in this path, then continue duplicate
handling without taking a lockref there.

Refactor gfs2_qd_search_bucket() to build on top of the no-ref helper
so lookup traversal stays in one place.

This patch fixes a bug reported by syzbot.
