net/mlx5e: Fix nullptr in add_vlan_push_action()

Browse Source 
commit dca59f4a791960ec73fa15803faa0abe0f92ece2 upstream.

The result of dev_get_by_index_rcu() is not checked for NULL and then
gets dereferenced immediately.

Also, the RCU lock must be held by the caller of dev_get_by_index_rcu(),
which isn't satisfied by the call stack.

Fix by handling nullptr return value when iflink device is not found.
Add RCU locking around dev_get_by_index_rcu() to avoid possible adverse
effects while iterating over the net_device's hlist.

It is safe not to increment reference count of the net_device pointer in
case of a successful lookup, because it's already handled by VLAN code
during VLAN device registration (see register_vlan_dev and
netdev_upper_dev_link).

Fixes: 278748a95a ("net/mlx5e: Offload TC e-switch rules with egress VLAN device")
Addresses-Coverity: ("Dereference null return value")
