[PATCH] Fix null pointer dereference in vector_user_bpf

From: Gaurav Singh
Date: Sat Jun 13 2020 - 21:20:35 EST


The bpf_prog is being checked for !NULL after uml_kmalloc
but later its used directly for example:
bpf_prog->filter = bpf and is also later returned upon
success. Fix this, do a NULL check and return right away.
