From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Currently pointer tdata is being dereferenced on the initialization of pointer skb before tdata is null checked. This could lead to a potential null pointer dereference. Fix this by dereferencing tdata after tdata has been null pointer sanity checked.
