[PATCH 4.9 34/35] tipc: fix NULL deref in tipc_link_xmit()

[Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>]

From: Hoang Le <hoang.h.le@dektech.com.au>

[ Upstream commit b77413446408fdd256599daf00d5be72b5f3e7c6 ]

The buffer list can have zero skb as following path:
tipc_named_node_up()->tipc_node_xmit()->tipc_link_xmit(), so
we need to check the list before casting an &sk_buff.

Fault report:
