--------------------------------
commit dde91ccfa25fd58f64c397d91b81a4b393100ffa upstream.
There is a short period between a net device starts to be unregistered and when it is actually gone. In that time frame ethtool operations could still be performed, which might end up in unwanted or undefined behaviours[1].
Do not allow ethtool operations after a net device starts its unregistration. This patch targets the netlink part as the ioctl one isn't affected: the reference to the net device is taken and the operation is executed within an rtnl lock section and the net device won't be found after unregister.
[1] For example adding Tx queues after unregister ends up in NULL pointer exceptions and UaFs, such as:
