[PATCH] erofs: fix pcluster use-after-free on UP platforms

From: Gao Xiang
Date: Fri Sep 02 2022 - 01:03:25 EST


During stress testing with CONFIG_SMP disabled, KASAN reports as below:

The root cause is that erofs_workgroup_unfreeze() doesn't reset
to orig_val thus it causes a race that the pcluster reuses unexpectedly
before freeing.

Since UP platforms are quite rare now, such path becomes unnecessary.
Let's drop such specific-designed path directly instead.
