Daniil Dulov 5420de65ef wifi: zd1211rw: Fix potential NULL pointer dereference in zd_mac_tx_to_dev()
[ Upstream commit 74b1ec9f5d627d2bdd5e5b6f3f81c23317657023 ]

There is a potential NULL pointer dereference in zd_mac_tx_to_dev(). For
example, the following is possible:

    	T0			    		T1
zd_mac_tx_to_dev()
  /* len == skb_queue_len(q) */
  while (len > ZD_MAC_MAX_ACK_WAITERS) {

					  filter_ack()
					    spin_lock_irqsave(&q->lock, flags);
					    /* position == skb_queue_len(q) */
					    for (i=1; i<position; i++)
				    	      skb = __skb_dequeue(q)

					    if (mac->type == NL80211_IFTYPE_AP)
					      skb = __skb_dequeue(q);
					    spin_unlock_irqrestore(&q->lock, flags);

    skb_dequeue() -> NULL

Since there is a small gap between checking skb queue length and skb being
unconditionally dequeued in zd_mac_tx_to_dev(), skb_dequeue() can return NULL.
Then the pointer is passed to zd_mac_tx_status() where it is dereferenced.

In order to avoid potential NULL pointer dereference due to situations like
above, check if skb is not NULL before passing it to zd_mac_tx_status().

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
