CVE-2024-36008: ipv4: check for NULL idev in ip_route_use_hint()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ipv4: check for NULL idev in iprouteusehint()
syzbot was able to trigger a NULL deref in fibvalidatesource() in an old tree [1].
It appears the bug exists in latest trees.
All calls to indevgetrcu() must be checked for a NULL result.
