Summary
drm/amdkfd: Fix an illegal memory access
Details

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

drm/amdkfd: Fix an illegal memory access

In the kfdwaitonevents() function, the kfdeventwaiter structure is allocated by alloceventwaiters(), but the event field of the waiter structure is not initialized; When copyfromuser() fails in the kfdwaitonevents() function, it will enter exception handling to release the previously allocated memory of the waiter structure; Due to the event field of the waiters structure being accessed in the free_waiters() function, this results in illegal memory access and system crash, here is the crash log:

Allocate the structure with kcalloc, and remove redundant 0-initialization and a redundant loop condition check.
