wireguard: netlink: access device through ctx instead of peer
[ Upstream commit 71cbd32e3db82ea4a74e3ef9aeeaa6971969c86f ]
The previous commit fixed a bug that led to a NULL peer->device being
dereferenced. It's actually easier and faster performance-wise to
instead get the device from ctx->wg. This semantically makes more sense
too, since ctx->wg->peer_allowedips.seq is compared with
ctx->allowedips_seq, basing them both in ctx. This also acts as a
defence in depth provision against freed peers.
