Subject: [patch 34/38] can: Add missing socket check in can/bcm release.

2.6.38-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Dave Jones <davej@...hat.com>

commit c6914a6f261aca0c9f715f883a353ae7ff51fe83 upstream.

We can get here with a NULL socket argument passed from userspace,
so we need to handle it accordingly.
