CVE-2024-38589 — netrom: fix possible dead-lock in nr_rt_ioctl()

Affected: Linux, Siemens RUGGEDCOM RST2428P, Siemens SCALANCE XC-300/XR-300/XC-400/XR-500WG/XR-500 family, Siemens SCALANCE XCM-/XRM-/XCH-/XRH-300 family, Siemens SIMATIC S7-1500 TM MFP - GNU/Linux subsystem

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

netrom: fix possible dead-lock in nr_rt_ioctl()

syzbot loves netrom, and found a possible deadlock in nr_rt_ioctl [1]

Make sure we always acquire nr_node_list_lock before nr_node_lock(nr_node)
