Subject: [PATCH 5.4 171/260] net: fix NULL pointer reference in cipso_v4_doi_free

From: 王贇 <yun.wang@...ux.alibaba.com>

[ Upstream commit 733c99ee8be9a1410287cdbb943887365e83b2d6 ]

In netlbl_cipsov4_add_std() when 'doi_def->map.std' alloc
failed, we sometime observe panic:

  BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address:
  ...
  RIP: 0010:cipso_v4_doi_free+0x3a/0x80
  ...
  Call Trace:
   netlbl_cipsov4_add_std+0xf4/0x8c0
   netlbl_cipsov4_add+0x13f/0x1b0
   genl_family_rcv_msg_doit.isra.15+0x132/0x170
   genl_rcv_msg+0x125/0x240

This is because in cipso_v4_doi_free() there is no check
on 'doi_def->map.std' when 'doi_def->type' equal 1, which
is possibe, since netlbl_cipsov4_add_std() haven't initialize
it before alloc 'doi_def->map.std'.

This patch just add the check to prevent panic happen for similar
cases.
