net: vmxnet3: fix possible NULL pointer dereference in vmxnet3_rq_cleanup()
In vmxnet3_rq_create(), when dma_alloc_coherent() fails,
vmxnet3_rq_destroy() is called. It sets rq->rx_ring[i].base to NULL. Then
vmxnet3_rq_create() returns an error to its callers mxnet3_rq_create_all()
-> vmxnet3_change_mtu(). Then vmxnet3_change_mtu() calls
vmxnet3_force_close() -> dev_close() in error handling code. And the driver
calls vmxnet3_close() -> vmxnet3_quiesce_dev() -> vmxnet3_rq_cleanup_all()
-> vmxnet3_rq_cleanup(). In vmxnet3_rq_cleanup(),
rq->rx_ring[ring_idx].base is accessed, but this variable is NULL, causing
a NULL pointer dereference.
To fix this possible bug, an if statement is added to check whether
rq->rx_ring[0].base is NULL in vmxnet3_rq_cleanup() and exit early if so.
The error log in our fault-injection testing is shown as follows:
