Subject: [PATCH 204/241] af-packet: fix oops when socket is not present

3.5.7.2 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Eric Leblond <eric@...it.org>

commit a3d744e995d2b936c500585ae39d99ee251c89b4 upstream.

Due to a NULL dereference, the following patch is causing oops
in normal trafic condition:

commit c0de08d04215031d68fa13af36f347a6cfa252ca

    af_packet: don't emit packet on orig fanout group

This buggy patch was a feature fix and has reached most stable
branches.

When skb->sk is NULL and when packet fanout is used, there is a
crash in match_fanout_group where skb->sk is accessed.
This patch fixes the issue by returning false as soon as the
socket is NULL: this correspond to the wanted behavior because
the kernel as to resend the skb to all the listening socket in
this case.
