There is a race between a system call processing thread
and the demultiplex thread when mid->resp_buf becomes NULL
and later is being accessed to get credits. It happens when
the 1st thread wakes up before a mid callback is called in
the 2nd one but the mid state has already been set to
MID_RESPONSE_RECEIVED. This causes NULL pointer dereference
in mid callback.
Fix this by saving credits from the response before we
update the mid state and then use this value in the mid
callback rather then accessing a response buffer.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
