[PATCH 5.10 22/25] rtnetlink: make sure to refresh master_dev/m_ops in __rtnl_newlink()

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman

From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit c6f6f2444bdbe0079e41914a35081530d0409963 upstream.

While looking at one unrelated syzbot bug, I found the replay logic
in __rtnl_newlink() to potentially trigger use-after-free.

It is better to clear master_dev and m_ops inside the loop,
in case we have to replay it.

Fixes: ba7d49b1f0f8 ("rtnetlink: provide api for getting and setting slave info")
