[ Upstream commitb1c2f6312c] The result of __dev_get_by_index() is not checked for NULL and then gets dereferenced immediately. Also, __dev_get_by_index() must be called while holding either RTNL lock or @dev_base_lock, which isn't satisfied by mlx5e_hairpin_get_mdev() or its callers. This makes the underlying hlist_for_each_entry() loop not safe, and can have adverse effects in itself. Fix by using dev_get_by_index() and handling nullptr return value when ifindex device is not found. Update mlx5e_hairpin_get_mdev() callers to check for possible PTR_ERR() result.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
