    aoe: fix the potential use-after-free problem in aoecmd_cfg_pkts
    
    [ Upstream commit f98364e926626c678fb4b9004b75cacf92ff0662 ]
    
    This patch is against CVE-2023-6270. The description of cve is:
    
      A flaw was found in the ATA over Ethernet (AoE) driver in the Linux
      kernel. The aoecmd_cfg_pkts() function improperly updates the refcnt on
      `struct net_device`, and a use-after-free can be triggered by racing
      between the free on the struct and the access through the `skbtxq`
      global queue. This could lead to a denial of service condition or
      potential code execution.
    
    In aoecmd_cfg_pkts(), it always calls dev_put(ifp) when skb initial
    code is finished. But the net_device ifp will still be used in
    later tx()->dev_queue_xmit() in kthread. Which means that the
    dev_put(ifp) should NOT be called in the success path of skb
    initial code in aoecmd_cfg_pkts(). Otherwise tx() may run into
    use-after-free because the net_device is freed.
    
    This patch removed the dev_put(ifp) in the success path in
    aoecmd_cfg_pkts(), and added dev_put() after skb xmit in tx().
