[PATCH net v2] net: libwx: protect ring accesses with RCU

During queue teardown or channel reconfiguration (e.g. via ethtool -L),
ring pointers in wx->rx_ring[] and wx->tx_ring[] can be cleared to NULL
and freed asynchronously via kfree_rcu().
Concurrency between interface reconfiguration and background tasks
(such as service tasks or dev_get_stats) can result in NULL pointer
dereferences or Use-After-Free (UAF) issues when accessing per-queue
structures. Specifically:
1. wx_update_stats() accesses per-queue Rx, RSC, and Tx rings without
RCU read-side protection, and lacked NULL checks in the RSC
accumulation loop.
2. wx_update_xoff_rx_lfc() walks wx->tx_ring[] and modifies ring->state
without RCU protection or NULL checks, risking a kernel panic when
flow control pause frames are received during queue teardown.
3. Queue assignment in wx_alloc_q_vector() used plain stores without
release barrier semantics needed for lockless RCU readers.
Fix these by:
1. Enclosing queue statistics gathering and wx_update_xoff_rx_lfc() inside
an rcu_read_lock() / rcu_read_unlock() section in wx_update_stats().
2. Adding READ_ONCE() and NULL checks when traversing wx->rx_ring[] and
wx->tx_ring[] in wx_update_stats() and wx_update_xoff_rx_lfc().
3. Using rcu_assign_pointer() when publishing or clearing ring pointers in
wx_alloc_q_vector() and wx_free_q_vector().

Changelogs:
v2:
- Moved rcu_read_unlock() after wx_update_xoff_rx_lfc() in wx_update_stats()
to ensure flow control processing remains fully protected within the RCU
read-side critical section.
- Replaced WRITE_ONCE() with rcu_assign_pointer() when assigning and clearing
ring pointers in wx_alloc_q_vector() and wx_free_q_vector(), providing
proper release memory barrier semantics for lockless RCU readers.
- Added __rcu annotations to tx_ring and rx_ring in struct wx (wx_type.h) to
align with Linux kernel RCU coding standards and fix Sparse warnings.
