[ Upstream commit b1c2f6312c5005c928a72e668bf305a589d828d4 ]

The result of __dev_get_by_index() is not checked for NULL and then gets
dereferenced immediately.

Also, __dev_get_by_index() must be called while holding either RTNL lock
or @dev_base_lock, which isn't satisfied by mlx5e_hairpin_get_mdev() or
its callers. This makes the underlying hlist_for_each_entry() loop not
safe, and can have adverse effects in itself.

Fix by using dev_get_by_index() and handling nullptr return value when
ifindex device is not found. Update mlx5e_hairpin_get_mdev() callers to
check for possible PTR_ERR() result.

Fixes: 77ab67b7f0f9 ("net/mlx5e: Basic setup of hairpin object")
Addresses-Coverity: ("Dereference null return value")
