commit 8da3a0b87f4f1c3a3bbc4bfb78cf68476e97d183 upstream. When cmtp_attach_device fails, cmtp_add_connection returns the error value which leads to the caller to doing fput through sockfd_put. But cmtp_session kthread, which is stopped in this path will also call fput, leading to a potential refcount underflow or a use-after-free. Add a refcount before we signal the kthread to stop. The kthread will try to grab the cmtp_session_sem mutex before doing the fput, which is held when get_file is called, so there should be no races there.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
