new_port_store() and del_port_store() access the driver via
dev_get_drvdata() without holding device_lock() or checking for NULL.
The sysfs attributes are attached to the bus device type, so they
remain accessible after the driver is unbound. Writing to new_port or
del_port after unbind causes a NULL dereference or use-after-free.
Protect both handlers with device_lock() and a NULL drvdata check,
matching the existing numvfs_store() pattern.
Discovered by Sashiko, not triggered, not runtime tested.
Fixes: 794b2c05ca1c ("netdevsim: extend device attrs to support port addition and deletion")
