📋 Description

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

RDMA/core: fix refcount bug in iwpm_get_nlmsg_request()

iwpm_get_nlmsg_request() initializes refcount after list_add_tail() making it accessible to global list where another CPU can kref_get() on nlmsg_request causing a refcount "addition on 0" bug. Fix this by initializing kref before list_add_tail() so refcount for nlmsg_request can be incremented/decremented normally. In addition, also initialize every field before list_add_tail().
