syzbot found a crash in dev_map_hash_update_elem(), when replacing an
element with a new one. Jesper correctly identified the cause of the crash
as a race condition between the initial lookup in the map (which is done
before taking the lock), and the removal of the old element.
Rather than just add a second lookup into the hashmap after taking the
lock, fix this by reworking the function logic to take the lock before the
initial lookup.
Fixes: 6f9d451ab1 ("xdp: Add devmap_hash map type for looking up devices by hashed index")

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
