Michal Schmidt 6f05611728 RDMA/irdma: avoid invalid read in irdma_net_event
irdma_net_event() should not dereference anything from "neigh" (alias
"ptr") until it has checked that the event is NETEVENT_NEIGH_UPDATE.
Other events come with different structures pointed to by "ptr" and they
may be smaller than struct neighbour.

Move the read of neigh->dev under the NETEVENT_NEIGH_UPDATE case.

The bug is mostly harmless, but it triggers KASAN on debug kernels:

Linux kernel
============

The Linux kernel is the core of any Linux operating system. It manages hardware,
system resources, and provides the fundamental services for all other software.

Quick Start
-----------

* Report a bug: See Documentation/admin-guide/reporting-issues.rst
* Get the latest kernel: https://kernel.org
* Build the kernel: See Documentation/admin-guide/quickly-build-trimmed-linux.rst
* Join the community: https://lore.kernel.org/

Essential Documentation
-----------------------

All users should be familiar with:

* Building requirements: Documentation/process/changes.rst
* Code of Conduct: Documentation/process/code-of-conduct.rst
* License: See COPYING

Documentation can be built with make htmldocs or viewed online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
