CVE-2021-46927: Improper Locking

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

nitro_enclaves: Use get_user_pages_unlocked() call to handle mmap assert

After commit 5b78ed24e8ec ("mm/pagemap: add mmap_assert_locked() annotations to find_vma*()"), the call to get_user_pages() will trigger the mmap assert.

static inline void mmap_assert_locked(struct mm_struct *mm) { lockdep_assert_held(&mm->mmap_lock); VM_BUG_ON_MM(!rwsem_is_locked(&mm->mmap_lock), mm); }

Use get_user_pages_unlocked() when setting the enclave memory regions. That's a similar pattern as mmap_read_lock() used together with get_user_pages().
