[ Upstream commit 733c99ee8be9a1410287cdbb943887365e83b2d6 ]

In netlbl_cipsov4_add_std() when 'doi_def->map.std' alloc
failed, we sometime observe panic:

BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address:
...
RIP: 0010:cipso_v4_doi_free+0x3a/0x80
...
Call Trace:
netlbl_cipsov4_add_std+0xf4/0x8c0
netlbl_cipsov4_add+0x13f/0x1b0
genl_family_rcv_msg_doit.isra.15+0x132/0x170
genl_rcv_msg+0x125/0x240

This is because in cipso_v4_doi_free() there is no check
on 'doi_def->map.std' when 'doi_def->type' equal 1, which
is possibe, since netlbl_cipsov4_add_std() haven't initialize
it before alloc 'doi_def->map.std'.

This patch just add the check to prevent panic happen for similar
cases.
