Subject: [PATCH v0] mctp: fix netdev reference bug

In extended addressing mode, function mctp_local_output() fetch netdev
through dev_get_by_index_rcu, which won't increase netdev's reference
counter. Hence, the reference may underflow when mctp_local_output calls
dev_put(), results in possible use after free.

This patch adds dev_hold() to fix the reference bug.
