4.20-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Johan Hovold <johan@xxxxxxxxxx> commit a1960e0f1639cb1f7a3d94521760fc73091f6640 upstream. The send_xchar() and tiocmset() tty operations are optional. Add the missing sanity checks to prevent user-space triggerable NULL-pointer dereferences.
