4.19-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Hyunwoo Kim <v4bel@xxxxxxxxx> commit e629295bd60abf4da1db85b82819ca6a4f6c1e79 upstream. When hvs is released, there is a possibility that vsk->trans may not be initialized to NULL, which could lead to a dangling pointer. This issue is resolved by initializing vsk->trans to NULL.
