netdevsim: psp: rcu protect psp_dev reference

There are two issues with the way psp_dev is used in nsim_do_psp():

1. There is no check for IS_ERR() on the peers psp_dev, before
   dereferencing.
2. The refcount on this psp_dev can be dropped by
   nsim_psp_rereg_write()

To fix this, we can make netdevsim's reference to its psp_dev an rcu
reference, and then nsim_do_psp() can read the fields it needs from an
rcu critical section.
