4.17-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Jason Wang <jasow...@redhat.com>
[ Upstream commit b8f1f65882f07913157c44673af7ec0b308d03eb ]
Sock will be NULL if we pass -1 to vhost_net_set_backend(), but when
we meet errors during ubuf allocation, the code does not check for
NULL before calling sockfd_put(), this will lead NULL
dereferencing. Fixing by checking sock pointer before.
Fixes: bab632d69ee4 ("vhost: vhost TX zero-copy support")
