net: devmem: refresh devmem TX dst in case of route invalidation
The zero-copy Device Memory (Devmem) transmit path relies on the socket's route cache (`dst_entry`) to validate that the packet is being sent via the network device to which the DMA buffer was bound. However, this check incorrectly fails and returns `-ENODEV` if the socket's route cache entry (`dst`) is merely missing or expired (`dst == NULL`). This scenario is observed during network events, such as when flow steering rules are deleted, leading to a temporary route cache invalidation. This patch fixes -ENODEV error for `net_devmem_get_binding()` by doing the following: 1. It attempts to rebuild the route via `rebuild_header()` if the route is initially missing (`dst == NULL`). This allows the TCP/IP stack to recover from transient route cache misses. 2. It uses `rcu_read_lock()` and `dst_dev_rcu()` to safely access the network device pointer (`dst_dev`) from the route, preventing use-after-free conditions if the device is concurrently removed. 3. It maintains the critical safety check by validating that the retrieved destination device (`dst_dev`) is exactly the device registered in the Devmem binding (`binding->dev`). These changes prevent unnecessary ENODEV failures while maintaining the critical safety requirement that the Devmem resources are only used on the bound network device.
