[ Upstream commit eb41a264a3a576dc040ee37c3d9d6b7e2d9be968 ]
There's a race between disabling DIM and NAPI callbacks using the dim pointer on the RQ or SQ.
If NAPI checks the DIM state bit and sees it still set, it assumes `rq->dim` or `sq->dim` is valid. But if DIM gets disabled right after that check, the pointer might already be set to NULL, leading to a NULL pointer dereference in net_dim().
Fix this by calling `synchronize_net()` before freeing the DIM context. This ensures all in-progress NAPI callbacks are finished before the pointer is cleared.
