Subject: [PATCH 5.8 037/633] chelsio/chtls: fix writing freed memory

From: Vinay Kumar Yadav <vinay.yadav@...lsio.com>

[ Upstream commit da1a039bcf293e4699d413c9f65d975da2d7c0bd ]

When chtls_sock *csk is freed, same memory can be allocated
to different csk in chtls_sock_create().
csk->cdev = NULL; statement might ends up modifying wrong
csk, eventually causing kernel panic.
removing (csk->cdev = NULL) statement as it is not required.
