[ Upstream commit b506bc975f60f06e13e74adb35e708a23dc4e87c ]
When tcp_sk_init() failed in inet_ctl_sock_create(),
'net->ipv4.tcp_congestion_control' will be left
uninitialized, but tcp_sk_exit() hasn't check for
that.
This patch add checking on 'net->ipv4.tcp_congestion_control'
in tcp_sk_exit() to prevent NULL-ptr dereference.
Fixes: 6670e1524477 ("tcp: Namespace-ify sysctl_tcp_default_congestion_control")
