Subject: [PATCH] net: rds: Fix possible null-pointer dereferences in rds_rdma_cm_event_handler_cmn()

In rds_rdma_cm_event_handler_cmn(), there are some if statements to
check whether conn is NULL, such as on lines 65, 96 and 112.
But conn is not checked before being used on line 108:
    trans->cm_connect_complete(conn, event);
and on lines 140-143:
    rdsdebug("DISCONNECT event - dropping connection "
            "%pI6c->%pI6c\n", &conn->c_laddr,
            &conn->c_faddr);
    rds_conn_drop(conn);

Thus, possible null-pointer dereferences may occur.

To fix these bugs, conn is checked before being used.

These bugs are found by a static analysis tool STCheck written by us.
