team: fix possible null pointer dereference in team_handle_frame
[ Upstream commit 57e595631904c827cfa1a0f7bbd7cc9a49da5745 ] Currently following race is possible in team: CPU0 CPU1 team_port_del team_upper_dev_unlink priv_flags &= ~IFF_TEAM_PORT team_handle_frame team_port_get_rcu team_port_exists priv_flags & IFF_TEAM_PORT == 0 return NULL (instead of port got from rx_handler_data) netdev_rx_handler_unregister The thing is that the flag is removed before rx_handler is unregistered. If team_handle_frame is called in between, team_port_exists returns 0 and team_port_get_rcu will return NULL. So do not check the flag here. It is guaranteed by netdev_rx_handler_unregister that team_handle_frame will always see valid rx_handler_data pointer.
