[ Upstream commit cb358ff94154774d031159b018adf45e17673941 ]
syzbot presented an use-after-free report [0] regarding ipvlan and linkwatch.
ipvlan does not hold a refcnt of the lower device unlike vlan and macvlan.
If the linkwatch work is triggered for the ipvlan dev, the lower dev might have already been freed, resulting in UAF of ipvlan->phy_dev in ipvlan_get_iflink().
We can delay the lower dev unregistration like vlan and macvlan by holding the lower dev's refcnt in dev->netdev_ops->ndo_init() and releasing it in dev->priv_destructor().
Jakub pointed out calling .ndo_XXX after unregister_netdevice() has returned is error prone and suggested [1] addressing this UAF in the core by taking commit 750e51603395 ("net: avoid potential UAF in default_operstate()") further.
Let's assume unregistering devices DOWN and use RCU protection in default_operstate() not to race with the device unregistration.
