slip: fix use-after-free in sl_sync()

slip_devs[] stores bare net_device pointers and takes no reference on
them.  sl_sync() and sl_alloc() walk that table from slip_open() under
rtnl_lock(), while an entry is dropped by sl_free_netdev(), which
sl_setup() installs as dev->priv_destructor.

priv_destructor is called from netdev_run_todo(), which deliberately
runs with the RTNL semaphore released so that it can sleep while waiting
for the device refcount to drop:

	/* Snapshot list, allow later requests */
	list_replace_init(&net_todo_list, &list);

	__rtnl_unlock();
	...
		if (dev->priv_destructor)
			dev->priv_destructor(dev);	/* slip_devs[i] = NULL */
		if (dev->needs_free_netdev)
			free_netdev(dev);
		...
		/* Free network device */
		kobject_put(&dev->dev.kobj);

So rtnl_lock() does not serialise slip_open() against the teardown at
all.  sl_sync() can load slip_devs[i] while the entry is still published
and dereference it after netdev_run_todo() has run the destructor and
released the device:

  CPU0 (slip_open)                 CPU1 (slip_close)
                                   unregister_netdev()
                                     rtnl_unlock()
                                       netdev_run_todo()
                                         __rtnl_unlock()
  rtnl_lock()
  sl_sync()
    dev = slip_devs[i]
                                         priv_destructor(dev)
                                           slip_devs[i] = NULL
                                         kobject_put(&dev->dev.kobj)
                                           /* dev is freed */
    sl = netdev_priv(dev)
    if (sl->tty || sl->leased)     /* use-after-free */

Commit e58c191241 ("slip: Fix use-after-free Read in slip_open") fixed
a different source of stale entries - a device left in slip_devs[] after
slip_open() freed it on the registration error path - and does not
address this race, which is why the report survives it.

Drop the entry from ndo_uninit instead.  unregister_netdevice() calls
ndo_uninit under RTNL, before the device is queued to netdev_run_todo(),
so an entry that sl_sync() can still see while holding RTNL belongs to a
device that cannot be freed until RTNL is dropped.  sl_free_netdev()
stays only for the slip_open() error path, where register_netdevice()
may have failed before ndo_init and ndo_uninit is then not called
either.  Both running for the same device is harmless: they run under
the same RTNL section, so the slot cannot have been reused in between.

This also removes the second symptom of the missing exclusion: a
destructor running after sl_alloc() had already handed the slot out to
another channel used to clear a live entry, so sl_sync() stopped at that
NULL, sl_alloc() returned the same index again, and
register_netdevice() failed with -EEXIST because slN was still there.

Reproduced on x86_64 with several threads looping over
open("/dev/ptmx") + ioctl(TIOCSETD, N_SLIP) + close().
