rds: ib: reject FRMR registration before IB connection is established

Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: rds: ib: reject FRMR registration before IB connection is established rds_ib_get_mr() extracts the rds_ib_connection from conn->c_transport_data and passes it to rds_ib_reg_frmr() for FRWR memory registration. On a fresh outgoing connection, ic is allocated in rds_ib_conn_alloc() with i_cm_id = NULL because the connection worker has not yet called rds_ib_conn_path_connect() to create the rdma_cm_id. When sendmsg() with RDS_CMSG_RDMA_MAP is called on such a connection, the sendmsg path parses the control message before any connection establishment, allowing rds_ib_post_reg_frmr() to dereference ic->i_cm_id->qp and crash the kernel. The existing guard in rds_ib_reg_frmr() only checks for !ic (added in commit 9e630bcb7701), which does not catch this case since ic is allocated early and is always non-NULL once the connection object exists. KASAN: null-ptr-deref in range [0x0000000000000010-0x0000000000000017] RIP: 0010:rds_ib_post_reg_frmr+0x50e/0x920 Call Trace: rds_ib_post_reg_frmr (net/rds/ib_frmr.c:167) rds_ib_map_frmr (net/rds/ib_frmr.c:252) rds_ib_reg_frmr (net/rds/ib_frmr.c:430) rds_ib_get_mr (net/rds/ib_rdma.c:615) __rds_rdma_map (net/rds/rdma.c:295) rds_cmsg_rdma_map (net/rds/rdma.c:860) rds_sendmsg (net/rds/send.c:1363) ____sys_sendmsg do_syscall_64 Add a check in rds_ib_get_mr() that verifies ic, i_cm_id, and qp are all non-NULL before proceeding with FRMR registration, mirroring the guard already present in rds_ib_post_inv(). Return -ENODEV when the connection is not ready, which the existing error handling in rds_cmsg_send() converts to -EAGAIN for userspace retry and triggers rds_conn_connect_if_down() to start the connection worker.
