tipc: add NULL pointer check before calling kfree_rcu
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
[ Upstream commit 42dec1d ]

Unlike kfree(p), kfree_rcu(p, rcu) won't do NULL pointer check. When
tipc_nametbl_remove_publ returns NULL, the panic below happens:

   BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000068
   RIP: 0010:__call_rcu+0x1d/0x290
