Subject: [net-next 2/2] tipc: add NULL pointer check to prevent kernel oops

From: Hoang Le <hoang.h.le@...tech.com.au>

Calling:
tipc_node_link_down()->
   - tipc_node_write_unlock()->tipc_mon_peer_down()
   - tipc_mon_peer_down()
  just after disabling bearer could be caused kernel oops.

Fix this by adding a sanity check to make sure valid memory
access.
