Subject: Bluetooth: Fix potential NULL dereference
From: Johan Hedberg <johan.hedberg@xxxxxxxxx>
commit 88d9077c27d0c1a7c022d9dc987640beecf23560 upstream.
The bnep_get_device function may be triggered by an ioctl just after a
connection has gone down. In such a case the respective L2CAP chan->conn
pointer will get set to NULL (by l2cap_chan_del). This patch adds a
missing NULL check for this case in the bnep_get_device() function.
