drm/panthor: Prevent potential UAF in group creation
This commit prevents the possibility of a use after free issue in the GROUPCREATE ioctl function, which arose as pointer to the group is accessed in that ioctl function after storing it in the Xarray. A malicious userspace can second guess the handle of a group and try to call GROUPDESTROY ioctl from another thread around the same time as GROUP_CREATE ioctl.
To prevent the use after free exploit, this commit uses a mark on an entry of group pool Xarray which is added just before returning from the GROUP_CREATE ioctl function. The mark is checked for all ioctls that specify the group handle and so userspace won't be abe to delete a group that isn't marked yet.
