6.1-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Breno Leitao <leitao@debian.org>

[ Upstream commit 36812527052c5bfb1ec6c1e292d67a5bf76b750f ]

nfc_llcp_getsockopt() read llcp_sock->local before lock_sock(sk) and
then dereferenced the cached pointer inside the locked region.
llcp_sock_bind() assigns and clears llcp_sock->local under the same
socket lock, dropping the last reference on its error path. A
getsockopt() racing an in-flight bind() can observe the pointer, block
on lock_sock(), and then dereference a freed nfc_llcp_local once bind()
has unwound.

Move the llcp_sock->local read and the NULL check inside the
lock_sock(sk) region so bind() cannot mutate or free the pointer between
the load and the use.
