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

wifi: virt_wifi: remove SET_NETDEV_DEV to avoid use-after-free

Currently we execute `SET_NETDEV_DEV(dev, &priv->lowerdev->dev)` for
the virt_wifi net devices. However, unregistering a virt_wifi device in
netdev_run_todo() can happen together with the device referenced by
SET_NETDEV_DEV().

It can result in use-after-free during the ethtool operations performed
on a virt_wifi device that is currently being unregistered. Such a net
device can have the `dev.parent` field pointing to the freed memory,
but ethnl_ops_begin() calls `pm_runtime_get_sync(dev->dev.parent)`.

Let's remove SET_NETDEV_DEV for virt_wifi to avoid bugs like this:

This fix may be combined with another one in the ethtool subsystem:
