  - bpf: Fix use-after-free in offloaded map/prog info fill When querying info for an offloaded BPF map or
    program, bpf_map_offload_info_fill_ns() and bpf_prog_offload_info_fill_ns() obtain the network namespace
    with get_net(dev_net(offmap->netdev)). However, the associated netdev's netns may be racing with teardown
    during netns destruction. If the netns refcount has already reached 0, get_net() performs a refcount_t
    increment on 0, triggering: refcount_t: addition on 0; use-after-free. Although rtnl_lock and
    bpf_devs_lock ensure the netdev pointer remains valid, they cannot prevent the netns refcount from
    reaching zero. Fix this by using maybe_get_net() instead of get_net(). maybe_get_net() uses
    refcount_inc_not_zero() and returns NULL if the refcount is already zero, which causes ns_get_path_cb() to
    fail and the caller to return -ENOENT -- the correct behavior when the netns is being destroyed.
