CVE-2025-40064

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

smc: Fix use-after-free in __pnet_find_base_ndev().

syzbot reported use-after-free of net_device in __pnet_find_base_ndev(),
which was called during connect(). [0]

smc_pnet_find_ism_resource() fetches sk_dst_get(sk)->dev and passes
down to pnet_find_base_ndev(), where RTNL is held.  Then, UAF happened
at __pnet_find_base_ndev() when the dev is first used.

This means dev had already been freed before acquiring RTNL in
pnet_find_base_ndev().

While dev is going away, dst->dev could be swapped with blackhole_netdev,
and the dev's refcnt by dst will be released.

We must hold dev's refcnt before calling smc_pnet_find_ism_resource().

Also, smc_pnet_find_roce_resource() has the same problem.

Let's use __sk_dst_get() and dst_dev_rcu() in the two functions.
