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

net/mlx5e: Fix use-after-free in mlx5e_tx_reporter_timeout_recover

mlx5e_tx_reporter_timeout_recover() accesses sq->netdev after mlx5e_safe_reopen_channels() has torn down and freed the channel (and its embedded SQs). Replace the three sq->netdev references with priv->netdev which is safe because priv outlives channel teardown.

The netdev_err() call already used priv->netdev for this reason; make the trylock/unlock and health_channel_eq_recover calls consistent.

This fixes the following KASAN splat:
