Resource Injection Affecting kernel-doc package, versions *

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-doc package and not the kernel-doc package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:7 relevant fixed versions and status.

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

net/mlx5: Fix peer devlink set for SF representor devlink port

The cited patch change register devlink flow, and neglect to reflect the changes for peer devlink set logic. Peer devlink set is triggering a call trace if done after devl_register.[1]

Hence, align peer devlink set logic with register devlink flow.
