CVE-2025-38323

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

net: atm: add lec_mutex

syzbot found its way in net/atm/lec.c, and found an error path in lecdattach() could leave a dangling pointer in devlec[].

Add a mutex to protect devlecp[] uses from lecdattach(), lecvccattach() and lecmcastattach().

Following patch will use this mutex for /proc/net/atm/lec.
