[PATCH] net/rds: Avoid potential use after free in rds_send_remove_from_sock

From: Aditya Pakki
Date: Tue Apr 06 2021 - 20:09:19 EST


In case of rs failure in rds_send_remove_from_sock(), the 'rm' resource
is freed and later under spinlock, causing potential use-after-free.
Set the free pointer to NULL to avoid undefined behavior.
