[PATCH] NFC: netlink: remove unexpected nfc_put_device

From: Pan Bian <hidden>
Date: 2018-11-27 07:55:18
Also in: linux-wireless, lkml
Subsystem: networking [general], nfc subsystem, the rest · Maintainers: "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, David Heidelberg, Linus Torvalds

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.
