Subject: IB/cma: Fix a race condition in iboe_addr_get_sgid()
From: Bart Van Assche <bart.vanassche@xxxxxxxxxxx>
commit fba332b079029c2f4f7e84c1c1cd8e3867310c90 upstream.
Code that dereferences the struct net_device ip_ptr member must be
protected with an in_dev_get() / in_dev_put() pair. Hence insert
calls to these functions.
Fixes: commit 7b85627b9f02 ("IB/cma: IBoE (RoCE) IP-based GID addressing")
