Subject: [PATCH 3.18 13/92] Bluetooth: Fix potential NULL dereference

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

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

From: Johan Hedberg <johan.hedberg@...el.com>

commit 88d9077c27d0c1a7c022d9dc987640beecf23560 upstream.

The bnep_get_device function may be triggered by an ioctl just after a
connection has gone down. In such a case the respective L2CAP chan->conn
pointer will get set to NULL (by l2cap_chan_del). This patch adds a
missing NULL check for this case in the bnep_get_device() function.
