Subject: [PATCH 3.18 23/29] vhost_net: validate sock before trying to put its fd

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

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

From: Jason Wang <jasowang@...hat.com>

[ Upstream commit b8f1f65882f07913157c44673af7ec0b308d03eb ]

Sock will be NULL if we pass -1 to vhost_net_set_backend(), but when
we meet errors during ubuf allocation, the code does not check for
NULL before calling sockfd_put(), this will lead NULL
dereferencing. Fixing by checking sock pointer before.

Fixes: bab632d69ee4 ("vhost: vhost TX zero-copy support")
