Subject: [PATCH 4.4 10/21] net: sched: Fix a possible null-pointer dereference in dequeue_func()

From: Jia-Ju Bai <baijiaju1990@...il.com>

[ Upstream commit 051c7b39be4a91f6b7d8c4548444e4b850f1f56c ]

In dequeue_func(), there is an if statement on line 74 to check whether
skb is NULL:
    if (skb)

When skb is NULL, it is used on line 77:
    prefetch(&skb->end);

Thus, a possible null-pointer dereference may occur.

To fix this bug, skb->end is used when skb is not NULL.

This bug is found by a static analysis tool STCheck written by us.
