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

drm/amdgpu: fix a job->pasid access race in gpu recovery

Avoid a possible UAF in GPU recovery due to a race between
the sched timeout callback and the tdr work queue.

The gpu recovery function calls drm_sched_stop() and
later drm_sched_start(). drm_sched_start() restarts
the tdr queue which will eventually free the job. If
the tdr queue frees the job before time out callback
completes, the job will be freed and we'll get a UAF
when accessing the pasid. Cache it early to avoid the
UAF.
