[PATCH 1/1] ax25: Fix segfault after sock connection timeout

From: Basil Gunn
Date: Sat Jan 14 2017 - 15:29:32 EST


The ax.25 socket connection timed out & the sock struct has been
previously taken down ie. sock struct is now a NULL pointer. Checking
the sock_flag causes the segfault. Check if the socket struct pointer
is NULL before checking sock_flag. This segfault is seen in
timed out netrom connections.

Please submit to -stable.
