[PATCH net] macsec: check offload ops before inserting TX tag

From: Junrui Luo <redacted>

macsec_insert_tx_tag() takes the ops pointer returned by
macsec_get_ops() and dereferences it straight away:

	ops = macsec_get_ops(macsec, &ctx);
	skb_final_len = skb->len - ETH_HLEN + ops->needed_headroom +
		ops->needed_tailroom;

macsec_get_ops() returns NULL whenever the offload is no longer live:
for MACSEC_OFFLOAD_PHY, macsec_check_offload() requires
real_dev->phydev to still be attached.

phy_detach() clears real_dev->phydev, e.g. when the lower device is
brought down and its driver calls phy_disconnect() from ndo_stop(),
when the PHY driver is unbound, or when an SFP module is removed under
phylink. A frame sent after that point reaches macsec_insert_tx_tag()
with ops == NULL and oopses.

Check the pointer, as every other macsec_get_ops() caller already
does, and drop the frame through the existing cleanup path.
