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

arm_mpam: guard MBWU state before adding it to garbage

__destroy_component_cfg() adds each RIS mbwu_state object to the MPAM
garbage list when destroying component configuration.

However, mbwu_state is allocated per RIS and only for RISes with MBWU
monitors. A component can therefore have comp->cfg allocated while some
RISes still have ris->mbwu_state set to NULL.

Passing a NULL mbwu_state to add_to_garbage() dereferences the NULL
pointer inside the macro.

Skip RISes that do not have an mbwu_state object before adding them to
the garbage list.
