net: sctp: fix smatch warning in sctp_send_asconf_del_ip
This was originally reported in [1] and posted by Neil Horman [2], he said:
Fix up a missed null pointer check in the asconf code. If we don't find
a local address, but we pass in an address length of more than 1, we may
dereference a NULL laddr pointer. Currently this can't happen, as the only
users of the function pass in the value 1 as the addrcnt parameter, but
its not hot path, and it doesn't hurt to check for NULL should that ever
be the case.
The callpath from sctp_asconf_mgmt() looks okay. But this could be triggered
from sctp_setsockopt_bindx() call with SCTP_BINDX_REM_ADDR and addrcnt > 1
while passing all possible addresses from the bind list to SCTP_BINDX_REM_ADDR
so that we do *not* find a single address in the association's bind address
list that is not in the packed array of addresses. If this happens when we
have an established association with ASCONF-capable peers, then we could get
a NULL pointer dereference as we only check for laddr == NULL && addrcnt == 1
and call later sctp_make_asconf_update_ip() with NULL laddr.
BUT: this actually won't happen as sctp_bindx_rem() will catch such a case
and return with an error earlier. As this is incredably unintuitive and error
prone, add a check to catch at least future bugs here. As Neil says, its not
hot path. Introduced by 8a07eb0a5 ("sctp: Add ASCONF operation on the
single-homed host").
