When sock_wait_state() returns -EINPROGRESS, "sk->sk_state" is LLCP_CONNECTING. In this case, llcp_sock_connect() is repeatedly invoked, nfc_llcp_sock_link() will add sk to local->connecting_sockets twice. sk->sk_node->next will point to itself, that will make an endless loop and hang-up the system. To fix it, check whether sk->sk_state is LLCP_CONNECTING in llcp_sock_connect() to avoid repeated invoking.
