In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf: Fix NULL pointer dereference in bpf_sk_storage_clone and diag paths
bpf_selem_unlink_nofail() sets SDATA(selem)->smap to NULL before
removing the selem from the storage hlist. A concurrent RCU reader in
bpf_sk_storage_clone() can observe the selem still on the list with
smap already NULL, causing a NULL pointer dereference.
general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address 0xdffffc000000000a:
KASAN: null-ptr-deref in range [0x0000000000000050-0x0000000000000057]

Add a NULL check for smap in bpf_sk_storage_clone().
bpf_sk_storage_diag_put_all() has the same issue. Add a NULL check
and pass the validated smap directly to diag_get(), which is refactored
to take smap as a parameter instead of reading it internally.
bpf_sk_storage_diag_put() uses diag->maps[i] which is always valid
under its refcount, so diag->maps[i] is passed directly to diag_get().
