commit 5d9745cead1f121974322b94ceadfb4d1e67960e upstream.

in_dev_get() can return NULL which will cause a failure once idev is
dereferenced in in_dev_for_each_ifa_rtnl(). This patch adds a
check for NULL value in idev beforehand.

Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.

Changes made to the original patch during backporting:
Apply patch to drivers/infiniband/hw/i40iw/i40iw_cm.c instead of
drivers/infiniband/hw/irdma/cm.c due to the fact that kernel versions
5.10 and below use i40iw driver, not irdma.

Fixes: f27b4746f378 ("i40iw: add connection management code")
