Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
team: avoid NETDEV_CHANGEMTU event when unregistering slave
syzbot is reporting
unregister_netdevice: waiting for netdevsim0 to become free. Usage count = 3
ref_tracker: netdev@ffff88807dcf8618 has 1/2 users at

problem. Ido Schimmel found steps to reproduce
ip link add name team1 type team
ip link add name dummy1 mtu 1499 master team1 type dummy
ip netns add ns1
ip link set dev dummy1 netns ns1
ip -n ns1 link del dev dummy1
and also found that the same issue was fixed in the bond driver in
commit f51048c3e07b ("bonding: avoid NETDEV_CHANGEMTU event when
unregistering slave").
Let's do similar thing for the team driver, with commit ad7c7b2172c3 ("net:
hold netdev instance lock during sysfs operations") and commit 303a8487a657
("net: s/__dev_set_mtu/__netif_set_mtu/") also applied.
