## Overview

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ipmr: do not call mr_mfc_uses_dev() for unres entries

syzbot found that calling mr_mfc_uses_dev() for unres entries
would crash [1], because c->mfc_un.res.minvif / c->mfc_un.res.maxvif
alias to "struct sk_buff_head unresolved", which contain two pointers.

This code never worked, lets remove it.
