rcu_dereference may return NULL, so check the returned pointer.

Hi Lv Ruyi,

This patch does not make sense to me. A request can only get "TO_BE_SENT"
when the connection is established with the corresponding
cstate. Establishing a connection can only work if net_conf is set. net_conf
can be exchanged to a new one, but never become NULL.

Please share more details why you think this NULL check is necessary here?
