Subject: [PATCH 4.14 183/218] tty: synclink_gt: Fix null-pointer-dereference in slgt_clean()

From: Zheyu Ma <zheyuma97@...il.com>

[ Upstream commit 689ca31c542687709ba21ec2195c1fbce34fd029 ]

When the driver fails at alloc_hdlcdev(), and then we remove the driver
module, we will get the following splat:

[   25.065966] general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address 0xdffffc0000000182: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP KASAN PTI
[   25.066914] KASAN: null-ptr-deref in range [0x0000000000000c10-0x0000000000000c17]
[   25.069262] RIP: 0010:detach_hdlc_protocol+0x2a/0x3e0
[   25.077709] Call Trace:
[   25.077924]  <TASK>
[   25.078108]  unregister_hdlc_device+0x16/0x30
[   25.078481]  slgt_cleanup+0x157/0x9f0 [synclink_gt]

Fix this by checking whether the 'info->netdev' is a null pointer first.
