Subject: net: qualcomm: rmnet: Fix incorrect receive packet handling during cleanup
From: Subash Abhinov Kasiviswanathan <subashab@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit fc70f5bf5e525dde81565f0a30d5e39168062eba ]
During rmnet unregistration, the real device rx_handler is first cleared
followed by the removal of rx_handler_data after the rcu synchronization.
Any packets in the receive path may observe that the rx_handler is NULL.
However, there is no check when dereferencing this value to use the
rmnet_port information.
This fixes following splat by adding the NULL check.
Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual
address 000000000000000d
