sysctl: protect poll() in entries that may go away
commit 4e474a00d7ff746ed177ddae14fa8b2d4bad7a00 upstream.
Protect code accessing ctl_table by grabbing the header with grab_header()
and after releasing with sysctl_head_finish(). This is needed if poll()
is called in entries created by modules: currently only hostname and
domainname support poll(), but this bug may be triggered when/if modules
use it and if user called poll() in a file that doesn't support it.
Dave Jones reported the following when using a syscall fuzzer while
hibernating/resuming:
RIP: 0010:[<ffffffff81233e3e>] [<ffffffff81233e3e>] proc_sys_poll+0x4e/0x90

If an entry goes away while we are polling() it, ctl_table may not exist
anymore.
