From: Oleksij Rempel <o.rempel@pengutronix.de>
commit 0c71437dd50dd687c15d8ca80b3b68f10bb21d63 upstream.
The j1939_session_deactivate() is decrementing the session ref-count and potentially can free() the session. This would cause use-after-free situation.
However, the code calling j1939_session_deactivate() does always hold another reference to the session, so that it would not be free()ed in this code path.
This patch adds a comment to make this clear and a WARN_ON, to ensure that future changes will not violate this requirement. Further this patch avoids dereferencing the session pointer as a precaution to avoid use-after-free if the session is actually free()ed.
