Kuniyuki Iwashima 65e976e1f4 nfc: llcp: Fix memleak in nfc_llcp_send_ui_frame().
[ Upstream commit 165c34fb60 ]

syzbot reported various memory leaks related to NFC, struct
nfc_llcp_sock, sk_buff, nfc_dev, etc. [0]

The leading log hinted that nfc_llcp_send_ui_frame() failed
to allocate skb due to sock_error(sk) being -ENXIO.

ENXIO is set by nfc_llcp_socket_release() when struct
nfc_llcp_local is destroyed by local_cleanup().

The problem is that there is no synchronisation between
nfc_llcp_send_ui_frame() and local_cleanup(), and skb
could be put into local->tx_queue after it was purged in
local_cleanup():

     |                          '                                          |
     |- skb_queue_tail(&local->tx_queue, pdu);                             |
    ...                                                                    |
     |- pdu = nfc_alloc_send_skb(..., &err)                                |
                                       ^._________________________________.'

local_cleanup() is called for struct nfc_llcp_local only
after nfc_llcp_remove_local() unlinks it from llcp_devices.

If we hold local->tx_queue.lock then, we can synchronise
the thread and nfc_llcp_send_ui_frame().

Let's do that and check list_empty(&local->list) before
queuing skb to local->tx_queue in nfc_llcp_send_ui_frame().
