Description: description_data: In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

wireguard: netlink: check for dangling peer via is_dead instead of empty list

If all peers are removed via wg_peer_remove_all(), rather than setting
peer_list to empty, the peer is added to a temporary list with a head on
the stack of wg_peer_remove_all(). If a netlink dump is resumed and the
cursored peer is one that has been removed via wg_peer_remove_all(), it
will iterate from that peer and then attempt to dump freed peers.

Fix this by instead checking peer->is_dead, which was explictly created
for this purpose. Also move up the device_update_lock lockdep assertion,
since reading is_dead relies on that.

It can be reproduced by a small script like:

    echo "Setting config..."
    ip link add dev wg0 type wireguard
    wg setconf wg0 /big-config
    (
            while true; do
                    echo "Showing config..."
                    wg showconf wg0 > /dev/null
            done
    ) &
    sleep 4
    wg setconf wg0 <(printf "[Peer]\nPublicKey=$(wg genkey)\n")

Resulting in:
