[PATCH 4.4 46/73] net: check before dereferencing netdev_ops during busy poll

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

From: Josh Elsasser <jelsasser@xxxxxxxxxxx>

init_dummy_netdev() leaves its netdev_ops pointer zeroed. This leads
to a NULL pointer dereference when sk_busy_loop fires against an iwlwifi
wireless adapter and checks napi->dev->netdev_ops->ndo_busy_poll.

Avoid this by ensuring napi->dev->netdev_ops is valid before following
the pointer, avoiding the following panic when busy polling on a dummy
netdev:

Commit 79e7fff47b7b ("net: remove support for per driver ndo_busy_poll()")
indirectly fixed this upstream in linux-4.11 by removing the offending
pointer usage. No other users of napi->dev touch its netdev_ops.

This is a straightforward backport of the 4.9.y fix[1] for this crash, which doesn't
apply to the older LTS releases. Only build-tested on 4.4.y, as I don't have access
to wireless hardware and firmware that runs on older LTS kernels.
