Subject: kcm: fix a null pointer dereference in kcm_sendmsg()
From: WANG Cong <xiyou.wangcong@xxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit cd27b96bc13841ee7af25837a6ae86fee87273d6 ]
In commit 98e3862ca2b1 ("kcm: fix 0-length case for kcm_sendmsg()")
I tried to avoid skb allocation for 0-length case, but missed
a check for NULL pointer in the non EOR case.
