[ Upstream commit b5b52de3214a29911f949459a79f6640969b5487 ]
If a cookie expires from the LRU and the LRU_DISCARD flag is set, but the state machine has not run yet, it's possible another thread can call fscache_use_cookie and begin to use it.
When the cookie_worker finally runs, it will see the LRU_DISCARD flag set, transition the cookie->state to LRU_DISCARDING, which will then withdraw the cookie. Once the cookie is withdrawn the object is removed the below oops will occur because the object associated with the cookie is now NULL.
Fix the oops by clearing the LRU_DISCARD bit if another thread uses the cookie before the cookie_worker runs.
