Subject: [PATCH 4.9 05/20] ax25: Fix NULL pointer dereference in ax25_kill_by_device

From: Duoming Zhou <duoming@....edu.cn>

[ Upstream commit 71171ac8eb34ce7fe6b3267dce27c313ab3cb3ac ]

When two ax25 devices attempted to establish connection, the requester use ax25_create(),
ax25_bind() and ax25_connect() to initiate connection. The receiver use ax25_rcv() to
accept connection and use ax25_create_cb() in ax25_rcv() to create ax25_cb, but the
ax25_cb->sk is NULL. When the receiver is detaching, a NULL pointer dereference bug
caused by sock_hold(sk) in ax25_kill_by_device() will happen. The corresponding
fail log is shown below:

===============================================================
BUG: KASAN: null-ptr-deref in ax25_device_event+0xfd/0x290

This patch add condition check in ax25_kill_by_device(). If s->sk is
NULL, it will goto if branch to kill device.
