[PATCH] netdevsim: fix use-after-free in __nsim_dev_port_del

[Hrushiraj Gandhi]

debugfs files created under a port's ddir (ethtool/get_err,
ethtool/set_err, ring params, bpf_offloaded_id, udp_ports/inject_error,
etc.) store raw pointers directly into the netdevsim struct, which lives
in the net_device private data kmalloc slab.

If these files outlive the netdevsim struct, a concurrent reader can
trigger a slab-use-after-free by passing debugfs_file_get() (which only
checks dentry lifetime) and then dereferencing the freed data pointer
in debugfs_u32_get().

In __nsim_dev_port_del(), nsim_destroy() is called before
nsim_dev_port_debugfs_exit(). However, nsim_destroy() calls free_netdev()
at its end, while nsim_dev_port_debugfs_exit() removes the port's
debugfs directory. This means the slab is freed before the debugfs
files are removed.

Fix by calling debugfs_remove_recursive(ns->nsim_dev_port->ddir) in
nsim_destroy() right before free_netdev(). This ensures all per-port
debugfs files are destroyed synchronously before the backing memory is
freed. The subsequent call to nsim_dev_port_debugfs_exit() in
__nsim_dev_port_del() becomes a harmless no-op.
