[PATCH] tipc: correctly handle releasing a not fully initialized sock

From: Sasha Levin <hidden>
Date: 2015-01-13 17:47:11

Commit "tipc: make tipc node table aware of net namespace" has added a
dereference of sock->sk before making sure it's not NULL, which makes
releasing a tipc socket NULL pointer dereference for sockets that are
not fully initialized.
