[PATCH] NFC: netlink: remove unexpected nfc_put_device

From: Pan Bian
Date: Tue Nov 27 2018 - 02:55:18 EST


The functions nfc_genl_llc_set_params and nfc_genl_llc_sdreq drops the
reference to dev via nfc_put_device on the error branch that no local
device is found. However, the error handling block reads dev's field and
then put dev again. This may result in use-after-free bugs. The patch
removes the unexpected call to nfc_put_device.
