atm: clip: Fix potential null-ptr-deref in to_atmarpd().

Type: advisorySource: Official CVE List1 source record

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: atm: clip: Fix potential null-ptr-deref in to_atmarpd(). atmarpd is protected by RTNL since commit f3a0592b37b8 ("[ATM]: clip causes unregister hang"). However, it is not enough because to_atmarpd() is called without RTNL, especially clip_neigh_solicit() / neigh_ops->solicit() is unsleepable. Also, there is no RTNL dependency around atmarpd. Let's use a private mutex and RCU to protect access to atmarpd in to_atmarpd().
