erofs may encounter above panic when enabling file-backed mount w/ directio
mount option, the root cause is it may suffer UAF in below race condition:

- z_erofs_read_folio                          wq s_dio_done_wq
  - z_erofs_runqueue
   - erofs_fileio_submit_bio
    - erofs_fileio_rq_submit
     - vfs_iocb_iter_read
      - ext4_file_read_iter
       - ext4_dio_read_iter
        - iomap_dio_rw
        : bio was submitted and return -EIOCBQUEUED
                                               - dio_aio_complete_work
                                                - dio_complete
                                                 - dio->iocb->ki_complete 
(erofs_fileio_ki_complete())
                                                  - kfree(rq)
                                                  : it frees iocb, iocb.ki_filp 
can be UAF in file_accessed().
        - file_accessed
        : access NULL file point

Introduce a reference count in struct erofs_fileio_rq, and initialize it
as two, both erofs_fileio_ki_complete() and erofs_fileio_rq_submit() will
decrease reference count, the last one decreasing the reference count
to zero will free rq.

Thanks for catching this:

I will update the subject as
"erofs: fix UAF issue for file-backed mounts w/ directio"

to make it more clear about the impacts.
