nfc: llcp_core: Hold a ref to llcp_local->dev when holding a ref to llcp_local
llcp_sock_sendmsg() calls nfc_llcp_send_ui_frame() which in turn calls
nfc_alloc_send_skb(), which accesses the nfc_dev from the llcp_sock for
getting the headroom and tailroom needed for skb allocation.
Parallelly the nfc_dev can be freed, as the refcount is decreased via
nfc_free_device(), leading to a UAF reported by Syzkaller, which can
be summarized as follows:
(1) llcp_sock_sendmsg() -> nfc_llcp_send_ui_frame()
-> nfc_alloc_send_skb() -> Dereference *nfc_dev
(2) virtual_ncidev_close() -> nci_free_device() -> nfc_free_device()
-> put_device() -> nfc_release() -> Free *nfc_dev
When a reference to llcp_local is acquired, we do not acquire the same
for the nfc_dev. This leads to freeing even when the llcp_local is in
use, and this is the case with the UAF described above too.
Thus, when we acquire a reference to llcp_local, we should acquire a
reference to nfc_dev, and release the references appropriately later.
References for llcp_local is initialized in nfc_llcp_register_device()
(which is called by nfc_register_device()). Thus, we should acquire a
reference to nfc_dev there.
nfc_unregister_device() calls nfc_llcp_unregister_device() which in
turn calls nfc_llcp_local_put(). Thus, the reference to nfc_dev is
appropriately released later.
