caif: fix two caif_connect() bugs
caif_connect() might dereference a netdevice after dev_put() it. It also doesnt check dev_get_by_index() return value and could dereference a NULL pointer. Fix it, using RCU to avoid taking a reference. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> CC: Sjur Braendeland <sjur.brandeland@stericsson.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
