Aldo Ariel Panzardo 408da1df18 net: mctp: hold a reference to the route device in mctp_route_lookup()
mctp_route_lookup() uses rt->dev without holding a reference on it.
mctp_route_lookup_single() returns the route under RCU only, so the
route's device can be torn down concurrently: mctp_dev_put() drops the
last reference and synchronously kfree()s mdev->addrs.  mctp_dev_saddr()
then reads rt->dev->addrs[0], giving a use-after-free reachable by an
unprivileged local AF_MCTP user on the receive/forwarding path (no
CAP_NET_RAW required):

  BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in mctp_route_lookup
  Read of size 1 at addr ... by task mctp_uaf/...
   mctp_route_lookup
   mctp_pkttype_receive
  Freed by task ...:
   kfree
   mctp_dev_put
   mctp_dev_notify

In the same window mctp_dst_from_route() -> mctp_dev_hold() also
increments a refcount that has already reached zero
("refcount_t: addition on 0 ... mctp_dev_hold").

This reintroduces the use-after-free class of CVE-2023-3439: the source
address lookup was moved ahead of the point where the destination takes
its device reference.

Take a reference with refcount_inc_not_zero() before touching rt->dev,
skip a device that is already dead, and drop the reference once the
destination has taken its own.
