Subject: CVE-2024-44997: net: ethernet: mtk_wed: fix use-after-free panic in mtk_wed_setup_tc_block_cb()

Description
===========

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

net: ethernet: mtk_wed: fix use-after-free panic in mtk_wed_setup_tc_block_cb()

When there are multiple ap interfaces on one band and with WED on,
turning the interface down will cause a kernel panic on MT798X.

Previously, cb_priv was freed in mtk_wed_setup_tc_block() without
marking NULL,and mtk_wed_setup_tc_block_cb() didn't check the value, too.

Assign NULL after free cb_priv in mtk_wed_setup_tc_block() and check NULL
in mtk_wed_setup_tc_block_cb().

Mitigation
==========

The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes.  Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release.  Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all.  If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
