There exists a sleep-while-atomic bug while accessing the dmabuf->name
under mutex in the dmabuffs_dname(). This is caused from the SELinux
permissions checks on a process where it tries to validate the inherited
files from fork() by traversing them through iterate_fd() (which
traverse files under spin_lock) and call
match_file(security/selinux/hooks.c) where the permission checks happen.
This audit information is logged using dump_common_audit_data() where it
calls d_path() to get the file path name. If the file check happen on
the dmabuf's fd, then it ends up in ->dmabuffs_dname() and use mutex to
access dmabuf->name. The flow will be like below:
flush_unauthorized_files()
iterate_fd()
spin_lock() --> Start of the atomic section.
match_file()
file_has_perm()
avc_has_perm()
avc_audit()
slow_avc_audit()
common_lsm_audit()
dump_common_audit_data()
audit_log_d_path()
d_path()
dmabuffs_dname()
mutex_lock()--> Sleep while atomic.

So, use spinlock to access dmabuf->name to avoid sleep-while-atomic.
