Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: fix UaF in netns ops registration error path
If net_assign_generic() fails, the current error path in ops_init() tries
to clear the gen pointer slot. Anyway, in such error path, the gen pointer
itself has not been modified yet, and the existing and accessed one is
smaller than the accessed index, causing an out-of-bounds error:
BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in ops_init+0x2de/0x320

Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (Q35 + ICH9, 2009), BIOS 1.16.1-2.fc37 04/01/2014

</TASK>
This change addresses the issue by skipping the gen pointer
de-reference in the mentioned error-path.
Found by code inspection and verified with explicit error injection
on a kasan-enabled kernel.
