syzbot reported a general protection fault caused by a null pointer
dereference in coalesce_fill_reply(). The issue occurs when req_base->dev
is null, leading to an invalid memory access.
This panic occurs if dumping coalesce when no device name is specified.
Fixes: f750dfe825b9 ("ethtool: provide customized dim profile management")

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
