Subject: [PATCH 4.19 078/152] pvcalls-front: fix potential null dereference

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

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

[ Upstream commit b4711098066f1cf808d4dc11a1a842860a3292fe ]

 static checker warning:
    drivers/xen/pvcalls-front.c:373 alloc_active_ring()
    error: we previously assumed 'map->active.ring' could be null
           (see line 357)

    351 static int alloc_active_ring(struct sock_mapping *map)
    352 {
    353     void *bytes;
    354

                    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

    358         goto out;
    359
    360     map->active.ring->ring_order = PVCALLS_RING_ORDER;
    361     bytes = (void *)__get_free_pages(GFP_KERNEL | __GFP_ZERO,
    362                     PVCALLS_RING_ORDER);
    363     if (!bytes)
    364         goto out;
    365
    366     map->active.data.in = bytes;
    367     map->active.data.out = bytes +
    368         XEN_FLEX_RING_SIZE(PVCALLS_RING_ORDER);
    369
    370     return 0;
    371
    372 out:
--> 373     free_active_ring(map);
                                 ^^^
Add null check on map->active.ring before dereferencing it to avoid
any NULL pointer dereferences.
