Summary
smc: Use __sk_dst_get() and dst_dev_rcu() in smc_clc_prfx_match().
Details

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

smc: Use _skdstget() and dstdevrcu() in smcclcprfxmatch().

smcclcprfxmatch() is called from smclisten_work() and not under RCU nor RTNL.

Using skdstget(sk)->dev could trigger UAF.

Let's use __skdstget() and dstdevrcu().

Note that the returned value of smcclcprfx_match() is not used in the caller.
