A new dir entry can be created in get_subdir and its 'header->parent' is set to NULL. Only after insert_header success, it will be set to 'dir', otherwise 'header->parent' is set to NULL and drop_sysctl_table is called. However in err handling path of get_subdir, drop_sysctl_table also be called on 'new->header' regardless its value of parent pointer. Then put_links is called, which triggers NULL-ptr deref when access member of header->parent.
In fact we have multiple error paths which call drop_sysctl_table() there, upon failure on insert_links() we also call drop_sysctl_table().And even in the successful case on __register_sysctl_table() we still always call drop_sysctl_table().This patch fix it.
