Duoming Zhou e2201ef32f ax25: Fix NULL pointer dereference in ax25_kill_by_device
[ Upstream commit 71171ac8eb ]

When two ax25 devices attempted to establish connection, the requester use ax25_create(),
ax25_bind() and ax25_connect() to initiate connection. The receiver use ax25_rcv() to
accept connection and use ax25_create_cb() in ax25_rcv() to create ax25_cb, but the
ax25_cb->sk is NULL. When the receiver is detaching, a NULL pointer dereference bug
caused by sock_hold(sk) in ax25_kill_by_device() will happen. The corresponding
fail log is shown below:

===============================================================
BUG: KASAN: null-ptr-deref in ax25_device_event+0xfd/0x290

This patch add condition check in ax25_kill_by_device(). If s->sk is
NULL, it will goto if branch to kill device.

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 Restructured Text 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.
