[PATCH 5.15 089/148] sfc: fix null pointer dereference in efx_hard_start_xmit

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

From: Íñigo Huguet <ihuguet@xxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 0a242eb2913a4aa3d6fbdb86559f27628e9466f3 ]

Trying to get the channel from the tx_queue variable here is wrong
because we can only be here if tx_queue is NULL, so we shouldn't
dereference it. As the above comment in the code says, this is very
unlikely to happen, but it's wrong anyway so let's fix it.

I hit this issue because of a different bug that caused tx_queue to be
NULL. If that happens, this is the error message that we get here:
  BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000020
  [...]
  RIP: 0010:efx_hard_start_xmit+0x153/0x170 [sfc]
