[ Upstream commit 9bdaf3b91efd229dd272b228e13df10310c80d19 ]
There's a race condition in the netdev registration in that
NETDEV_REGISTER actually happens after the netdev is available,
and so if we initialize things only there, we might get called
with an uninitialized wdev through nl80211 - not using a wdev
but using a netdev interface index.
I found this while looking into a syzbot report, but it doesn't
really seem to be related, and unfortunately there's no repro
for it (yet). I can't (yet) explain how it managed to get into
cfg80211_release_pmsr() from nl80211_netlink_notify() without
the wdev having been initialized, as the latter only iterates
the wdevs that are linked into the rdev, which even without the
change here happened after init.
However, looking at this, it seems fairly clear that the init
needs to be done earlier, otherwise we might even re-init on a
netns move, when data might still be pending.

commit 0bbab5f0301587cad4e923ccc49bb910db86162c upstream.
Removing the "if (IS_ERR(dir)) dir = NULL;" check only works
if we adjust the remaining code to not rely on it being NULL.
Check IS_ERR_OR_NULL() before attempting to dereference it.
I'm not actually entirely sure this fixes the syzbot crash as
the kernel config indicates that they do have DEBUG_FS in the
kernel, but this is what I found when looking there.
