Subject[RFC PATCH net] net/smc: Reset conn->lgr when link group registration fails
Date
SMC connections might fail to be registered to a link group due to
things like unable to find a link to assign to in its creation. As
a result, connection creation will return a failure and most
resources related to the connection won't be applied or initialized,
such as conn->abort_work or conn->lnk.

If smc_conn_free() is invoked later, it will try to access the
resources related to the connection, which wasn't initialized, thus
causing a panic.

Here is an example, a SMC-R connection failed to be registered
to a link group and conn->lnk is NULL. The following crash will
happen if smc_conn_free() tries to access conn->lnk in
smc_cdc_tx_dismiss_slots().

BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000168

This patch tries to fix this by resetting conn->lgr to NULL if an
abnormal exit due to lgr register failure occurs in smc_conn_create(),
thus avoiding the crash caused by accessing the uninitialized resources
in smc_conn_free().
