Intel GPU driver vulnerability with Use-After-Free/Double-Delete due to bad locking. Trivial variant of CVE-2016-1744. Thread-unsafe IGHashTable in intel graphics drivers. Memory manipulation in map_user_memory method. Tested on MacOS 10.13.5

/*
This PoC file might look familiar; this bug is a trivial variant of CVE-2016-1744 (Apple bug id 635599405.)

That report showed the bug in the unmap_user_memory external methods; a variant also exists
in the map_user_memory external methods.

The intel graphics drivers have their own hash table type IGHashTable which isn't thread-safe.

map_user_memory manipulates an IGHashTable without locking leading to memory issues (eg UaFs and/or double-frees)

tested on MacOS 10.13.5 (17F77) on MacBookPro10,1
