Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

nfc: llcp: read llcp_sock->local under the socket lock in getsockopt

nfc_llcp_getsockopt() read llcp_sock->local before lock_sock(sk) and
then dereferenced the cached pointer inside the locked region.
llcp_sock_bind() assigns and clears llcp_sock->local under the same
socket lock, dropping the last reference on its error path. A
getsockopt() racing an in-flight bind() can observe the pointer, block
on lock_sock(), and then dereference a freed nfc_llcp_local once bind()
has unwound.

Move the llcp_sock->local read and the NULL check inside the
lock_sock(sk) region so bind() cannot mutate or free the pointer between
the load and the use.
