kernel: dm cache policy smq: fix missing locks in invalidating cache blocks

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's device-mapper dm cache policy, specifically within the smq module. In passthrough mode, the invalidatemapping operation lacks proper locking, allowing for concurrent access. This can lead to data races, resulting in data corruption or use-after-free issues,...
