net-fq: Add WARN_ON check for null flow.
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
While testing an ath10k firmware that often crashed under load,
I was seeing kernel crashes as well.  One of them appeared to
be a dereference of a NULL flow object in fq_tin_dequeue.

I have since fixed the firmware flaw, but I think it would be
worth adding the WARN_ON in case the problem appears again.

BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 000000000000003c
