[ Upstream commit f11cf946c0a92c560a890d68e4775723353599e1 ]
In mctp_dump_addrinfo, ifa_index can be used to filter interfaces, but
only when the struct ifaddrmsg is provided. Otherwise it will be
comparing to uninitialised memory - reproducible in the syzkaller case from
dhcpd, or busybox "ip addr show".
The kernel MCTP implementation has always filtered by ifa_index, so
existing userspace programs expecting to dump MCTP addresses must
already be passing a valid ifa_index value (either 0 or a real index).

[ The context change is due to the commit 2d45eeb7d5d7
("mctp: no longer rely on net->dev_index_head[]") in v6.14
which is irrelevant to the logic of this patch. ]
