[ Upstream commit b8f1f65882f07913157c44673af7ec0b308d03eb ]
Sock will be NULL if we pass -1 to vhost_net_set_backend(), but when we meet errors during ubuf allocation, the code does not check for NULL before calling sockfd_put(), this will lead NULL dereferencing. Fixing by checking sock pointer before.
