[ Upstream commit 051c7b39be4a91f6b7d8c4548444e4b850f1f56c ]
In dequeue_func(), there is an if statement on line 74 to check whether skb is NULL: if (skb)
When skb is NULL, it is used on line 77: prefetch(&skb->end);
Thus, a possible null-pointer dereference may occur.
To fix this bug, skb->end is used when skb is not NULL.
This bug is found by a static analysis tool STCheck written by us.
