Vulnerability in Linux Kernel

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: hsr: Remove WARN_ONCE() in hsr_addr_is_self(). syzbot reported the warning [0] in hsr_addr_is_self(), whose assumption is simply wrong. hsr->self_node is cleared in hsr_del_self_node(), which is called from hsr_dellink(). Since dev->rtnl_link_ops->dellink() is called before unregister_netdevice_many(), there is a window when user can find the device but without hsr->self_node. Let's remove WARN_ONCE() in hsr_addr_is_self().
