CVE-2024-36979

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

net: bridge: mst: fix vlan use-after-free

syzbot reported a suspicious rcu usage[1] in bridge's mst code. While
fixing it I noticed that nothing prevents a vlan to be freed while
walking the list from the same path (br forward delay timer). Fix the rcu
usage and also make sure we are not accessing freed memory by making
br_mst_vlan_set_state use rcu read lock.
