KASAN reported a UAF problem in profile_tick():
BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in profile_tick+0x5c/0x80
Read of size 8 at addr ffff888100928aa0 by task bash/1108
CPU: 2 PID: 1108 Comm: bash Not tainted 5.10.0+ #72

...
It is beacause in profiling_store(), profile_init() is possible to fail
and free prof_cpu_mask. However prof_cpu_mask is not set to NULL and
cpumask_available(prof_cpu_mask) will return true in profile_tick().
Then cpumask_test_cpu() will dereference prof_cpu_mask and trigger the
KASAN warning.
There is no interface to disable profile_tick() even though profile_init()
has been already failed. So just set prof_cpu_mask to NULL when free it.
Then accessing to prof_cpu_mask can be rejected by prof_buffer or
cpumask_available().

prof_cpu_mask can't be set to NULL when CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK=n,
because it is an array.
But checking prof_buffer still can prevent prof_cpu_mask be used in
profile_tick() and fix this problem.
Will push another version for this.

get_maintainer.pl gets a wrong spelled mail address
'akpm@linux-foudation.org'.
Seems it's because Andrew left a wrong Reviewed-by in the last commit..
so -cc alone for Andrew.
Sorry for bothering.
