    hostapd: P2P: Fix a corner case in peer addition based on PD Request
    
    p2p_add_device() may remove the oldest entry if there is no room in the
    peer table for a new peer. This would result in any pointer to that
    removed entry becoming stale. A corner case with an invalid PD Request
    frame could result in such a case ending up using (read+write) freed
    memory. This could only by triggered when the peer table has reached its
    maximum size and the PD Request frame is received from the P2P Device
    Address of the oldest remaining entry and the frame has incorrect P2P
    Device Address in the payload.
    
    Fix this by fetching the dev pointer again after having called
    p2p_add_device() so that the stale pointer cannot be used.
    
    This fixes the following security vulnerabilities/bugs:
    
    - CVE-2021-27803 - A vulnerability was discovered in how p2p/p2p_pd.c
      in wpa_supplicant before 2.10 processes P2P (Wi-Fi Direct) provision
      discovery requests. It could result in denial of service or other
      impact (potentially execution of arbitrary code), for an attacker
      within radio range.
