idr_find() can return a NULL value to 'flow' which is used without a check. The patch adds a check to avoid potential NULL pointer dereference. In case of mlx5_fpga_sbu_conn_sendmsg() failure, free buf allocated using kzalloc. Fixes: ab412e1dd7db ("net/mlx5: Accel, add TLS rx offload routines") --- v3: Reorder buf allocations and flow check. v2: failure to return in case of flow failure. v1: Failed to free buf in case of flow failure.
