Pde is erased from subdir rbtree through rb_erase(), but not set the node
to EMPTY, which may result in uaf access. We should use RB_CLEAR_NODE()
set the erased node to EMPTY, then pde_subdir_next() will return NULL to
avoid uaf access.
We found an uaf issue while using stress-ng testing, need to run testcase
getdent and tun in the same time. The steps of the issue is as follows:
1) use getdent to traverse dir /proc/pid/net/dev_snmp6/, and current
pde is tun3;
2) in the [time windows] unregister netdevice tun3 and tun2, and erase
them from rbtree. erase tun3 first, and then erase tun2. the
pde(tun2) will be released to slab;
3) continue to getdent process, then pde_subdir_next() will return
pde(tun2) which is released, it will case uaf access.
