That commit was OK - it added an "if (!c) continue" to handle if
the value c is changed to NULL.

That commit wiped out the "if (!c) continue" path escape clause
from the previous patch, introducing a path back to code that
doesn't check for NULL:

- if (!c)
- continue;
-
- read_unlock(&chan_list_lock);
- return c;
+ if (c) {
+ read_unlock(&chan_list_lock);
+ return c;
+ }
}
src_any = !bacmp(&c->src, BDADDR_ANY);
dst_any = !bacmp(&c->dst, BDADDR_ANY);

This patch is necessary to get a successful cross-compile of 6.0-rc3
allmodconfig for ARCH=mips on x86.

Tested-by: Robert Elliott <elliott@xxxxxxx>

I suggest you label this patch as:
Fixes: 332f1795ca20 ("Bluetooth: L2CAP: Fix l2cap_global_chan_by_psm regression")
