CVE-2026-31695
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: virt_wifi: remove SET_NETDEV_DEV to avoid use-after-free
Currently we execute `SET_NETDEV_DEV(dev, &priv->lowerdev->dev)` for the virt_wifi net devices. However, unregistering a virt_wifi device in netdev_run_todo() can happen together with the device referenced by SET_NETDEV_DEV().
It can result in use-after-free during the ethtool operations performed on a virt_wifi device that is currently being unregistered. Such a net device can have the `dev.parent` field pointing to the freed memory, but ethnl_ops_begin() calls `pm_runtime_get_sync(dev->dev.parent)`.

Let's remove SET_NETDEV_DEV for virt_wifi to avoid bugs like this:
This fix may be combined with another one in the ethtool subsystem: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260322075917.254874-1-alex.popov@linux.com/T/#u
