From: Leon Yu chianglungyu@gmail.com

commit 3f553b308bb004eb730da8e00a28150c157c7724 upstream.

otherwise kernel can oops later in seq_release() due to dereferencing null file->private_data which is only set if seq_open() succeeds.

BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000000 IP: seq_release+0xc/0x30 Call Trace: close_pdeo+0x37/0xd0 proc_reg_release+0x5d/0x60 __fput+0x9d/0x1d0 ____fput+0x9/0x10 task_work_run+0x75/0x90 do_exit+0x252/0xa00 do_group_exit+0x36/0xb0 SyS_exit_group+0xf/0x10
