CVE-2025-21791

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

vrf: use RCU protection in l3mdev_l3_out()

l3mdev_l3_out() can be called without RCU being held:

raw_sendmsg()
 ip_push_pending_frames()
  ip_send_skb()
   ip_local_out()
    __ip_local_out()
     l3mdev_ip_out()

Add rcu_read_lock() / rcu_read_unlock() pair to avoid
a potential UAF.
