Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

f2fs: vm_unmap_ram() may be called from an invalid context

When testing F2FS with xfstests using UFS backed virtual disks the
kernel complains sometimes that f2fs_release_decomp_mem() calls
vm_unmap_ram() from an invalid context. Example trace from
f2fs/007 test:

This patch modifies in_task() check inside f2fs_read_end_io() to also
check if interrupts are disabled. This ensures that pages are unmapped
asynchronously in an interrupt handler.
