CVE-2024-35854

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

mlxsw: spectrum_acl_tcam: Fix possible use-after-free during rehash

The rehash delayed work migrates filters from one region to another
according to the number of available credits.

The migrated from region is destroyed at the end of the work if the
number of credits is non-negative as the assumption is that this is
indicative of migration being complete. This assumption is incorrect as
a non-negative number of credits can also be the result of a failed
migration.

The destruction of a region that still has filters referencing it can
result in a use-after-free [1].

Fix by not destroying the region if migration failed.
