Baineng Shou a4a1a2bfcb misc: fastrpc: don't publish fd before copy_to_user() succeeds
fastrpc_ioctl_alloc_dmabuf() calls dma_buf_fd() which installs the fd
into the caller's fd table before copy_to_user() copies the fd number
back to userspace.  If copy_to_user() fails, the fd is already visible
to other threads in the same process but the ioctl returns -EFAULT.
The existing comment in the code even acknowledges the problem:

  "The usercopy failed, but we can't do much about it, as dma_buf_fd()
   already called fd_install()..."

Now that dma_buf_fd_install() is available (introduced to fix the same
issue in dma-heap), apply the same pattern here: reserve the fd with
get_unused_fd_flags(), attempt copy_to_user(), and only on success call
dma_buf_fd_install() to publish it atomically with the tracepoint.  On
copy_to_user() failure, put_unused_fd() and dma_buf_put() cleanly
unwind without any user-visible side effects.

Fixes: 6cffd79504 ("misc: fastrpc: Add support for dmabuf exporter")
