Summary
macsec: fix UAF bug for real_dev
Details

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

macsec: fix UAF bug for real_dev

Create a new macsec device but not get reference to real_dev. That can not ensure that real_dev is freed after macsec. That will trigger the UAF bug for real_dev as following:

================================================================== BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in macsec_get_iflink+0x5f/0x70 drivers/net/macsec.c:3662 Call Trace: ... macsec_get_iflink+0x5f/0x70 drivers/net/macsec.c:3662 dev_get_iflink+0x73/0xe0 net/core/dev.c:637 default_operstate net/core/link_watch.c:42 [inline] rfc2863_policy+0x233/0x2d0 net/core/link_watch.c:54 linkwatch_do_dev+0x2a/0x150 net/core/link_watch.c:161

After commit faab39f63c1f ("net: allow out-of-order netdev unregistration") and commit e5f80fcf869a ("ipv6: give an IPv6 dev to blackhole_netdev"), we can add dev_hold_track() in macsec_dev_init() and dev_put_track() in macsec_free_netdev() to fix the problem.
