Re: [PATCH] net: core: prevent NULL deref in generic_hwtstamp_ioctl_lower()

The ethtool tsconfig Netlink path can trigger a null pointer
dereference. A call chain such as:

  tsconfig_prepare_data() ->
  dev_get_hwtstamp_phylib() ->
  vlan_hwtstamp_get() ->
  generic_hwtstamp_get_lower() ->
  generic_hwtstamp_ioctl_lower()

results in generic_hwtstamp_ioctl_lower() being called with
kernel_cfg->ifr as NULL.

The generic_hwtstamp_ioctl_lower() function does not expect a
NULL ifr and dereferences it, leading to a system crash.

Fix this by adding a NULL check for kernel_cfg->ifr in
generic_hwtstamp_get/set_lower(). If ifr is NULL, return
-EOPNOTSUPP to prevent the call to the legacy IOCTL helper.

Fixes: 6e9e2eed4f39 ("net: ethtool: Add support for tsconfig command to
get/set hwtstamp config") Closes:
