macsec: fix NULL deref in macsec_add_rxsa
[ Upstream commit f46040eeaf2e523a4096199fd93a11e794818009 ]
Commit 48ef50fa866a added a test on tb_sa[MACSEC_SA_ATTR_PN], but
nothing guarantees that it's not NULL at this point. The same code was
added to macsec_add_txsa, but there it's not a problem because
validate_add_txsa checks that the MACSEC_SA_ATTR_PN attribute is
present.
Note: it's not possible to reproduce with iproute, because iproute
doesn't allow creating an SA without specifying the PN.
Fixes: 48ef50fa866a ("macsec: Netlink support of XPN cipher suites (IEEE 802.1AEbw)")
