From: Miklos Szeredi mszeredi@redhat.com

commit 0d6ec079d6aaa098b978d6395973bb027c752a03 upstream.

We may fail to pin one of the marks in fsnotify_prepare_user_wait() when dropping the srcu read lock, resulting in use after free at the next iteration.

Solution is to store both marks in iter_info instead of just the one we'll be sending the event for.
