tipc: fix slab-use-after-free Read in tipcaeaddecryptdone

tipcaeaddecrypt() goes straight from tipcbearerhold(b) to cryptoaeaddecrypt(req) without taking a reference on the netns, unlike the encrypt path. When cryptoaeaddecrypt() is offloaded asynchronously (e.g. the SIMD aead wrapper queuing to cryptd), the cryptd worker runs tipcaeaddecryptdone() later. If the bearer's netns is torn down in the meantime, cleanupnet() - tipcexitnet() - tipccryptostop() frees the per-netns tipccrypto, and the completion then reads it: tipcaeaddecryptdone() dereferences aead-crypto-stats and aead-crypto-net, and tipccryptorcvcomplete() dereferences aead-crypto-aead[] and the node table -- reading freed memory.

This is the same class of bug that commit e279024617134 ("net/tipc: fix slab-use-after-free Read in tipcaeadencryptdone") fixed for the encrypt side. The encrypt path takes maybegetnet(aead-crypto-net) before cryptoaeadencrypt() and drops it with putnet() on the synchronous return paths and in tipcaeadencryptdone(); the -EINPROGRESS/-EBUSY return keeps the reference for the async callback to release. The decrypt path was left without the equivalent guard.

Mirror the encrypt-side fix on the decrypt path: take a net reference before cryptoaeaddecrypt() (failing with -ENODEV and the matching bearer put if it cannot be acquired), keep it across the -EINPROGRESS/-EBUSY async return, and drop it with putnet() on the synchronous success/error return and at the end of tipcaeaddecryptdone().

Reproduced under KASAN on v7.1-rc7: a UDP bearer with a cluster key is flooded with crafted encrypted frames from an unknown peer (driving the cluster-key decrypt path) while the bearer's netns is repeatedly torn down. The completion must run asynchronously to outlive tipccryptostop(); on x86 the stock aesni gcm(aes) now decrypts synchronously, so the async path was exercised via cryptd offload. The unguarded aead-crypto dereference in tipcaeaddecryptdone() is the unpatched upstream path; tipcaeaddecrypt() still lacks maybegetnet(aead-crypto-net), so the completion can outlive the free on any config where cryptoaeaddecrypt() goes async.

  72. Compensating control

    In the TIPC decrypt path, take a net namespace reference with maybe_get_net(aead->crypto->net) before calling crypto_aead_decrypt(); if acquisition fails, return -ENODEV and perform the matching bearer put. Preserve the reference across -EINPROGRESS/-EBUSY asynchronous returns, and release it with put_net() on synchronous success/error returns and at the end of tipc_aead_decrypt_done().
