net: bonding: fix NULL deref in bond_debug_rlb_hash_show

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

net: bonding: fix NULL deref in bond_debug_rlb_hash_show

rlb_clear_slave intentionally keeps RLB hash-table entries on
the rx_hashtbl_used_head list with slave set to NULL when no
replacement slave is available. However, bond_debug_rlb_hash_show
visites client_info->slave without checking if it's NULL.

Other used-list iterators in bond_alb.c already handle this NULL-slave
state safely:

- rlb_update_client returns early on !client_info->slave
- rlb_req_update_slave_clients, rlb_clear_slave, and rlb_rebalance
compare slave values before visiting
- lb_req_update_subnet_clients continues if slave is NULL

The following NULL deref crash can be trigger in
bond_debug_rlb_hash_show:
