From: Ignat Korchagin <ignat@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit b4fcd63f6ef79c73cafae8cf4a114def5fc3d80d ] sock_init_data() attaches the allocated sk object to the provided sock object. If ieee802154_create() fails later, the allocated sk object is freed, but the dangling pointer remains in the provided sock object, which may allow use-after-free. Clear the sk pointer in the sock object on error.
