ax25: Fix NULL pointer dereference in ax25_kill_by_device
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 Call Trace: ... ax25_device_event+0xfd/0x290 raw_notifier_call_chain+0x5e/0x70 dev_close_many+0x174/0x220 unregister_netdevice_many+0x1f7/0xa60 unregister_netdevice_queue+0x12f/0x170 unregister_netdev+0x13/0x20 mkiss_close+0xcd/0x140 tty_ldisc_release+0xc0/0x220 tty_release_struct+0x17/0xa0 tty_release+0x62d/0x670 ... This patch add condition check in ax25_kill_by_device(). If s->sk is NULL, it will goto if branch to kill device.
