In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

Bluetooth: Fix null-ptr-deref in l2cap_sock_resume_cb()

syzbot reported null-ptr-deref in l2cap_sock_resume_cb(). [0]

l2cap_sock_resume_cb() has a similar problem that was fixed by commit
1bff51ea59a9 ("Bluetooth: fix use-after-free error in lock_sock_nested()").

Since both l2cap_sock_kill() and l2cap_sock_resume_cb() are executed
under l2cap_sock_resume_cb(), we can avoid the issue simply by checking
if chan->data is NULL.

Let's not access to the killed socket in l2cap_sock_resume_cb().
