CVE-2024-56635: In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:  net: avoid potential UAF in default_operstate()  syzbot reported an UAF in default_operstate() [1]  Issue is a race between device and netns dismantles.  After calling __rtnl_unlock() from netdev_run_todo(), we can not assume the netns of each device is still alive.  Make sure the device is not in NETREG_UNREGISTERED state, and add an ASSERT_RTNL() before the call to __dev_get_by_index().  We might move this ASSERT_RTNL() in __dev_get_by_index() in the future.
