[PATCH 0/1][SRU][B/D] CVE-2019-12984: NFC Netlink DoS

[Tyler Hicks]

A NULL pointer dereference vulnerability in the function
nfc_genl_deactivate_target() in net/nfc/netlink.c in the Linux kernel
before 5.1.13 can be triggered by a malicious user-mode program that omits
certain NFC attributes, leading to denial of service.

The patch is a clean cherry pick to both kernels. Build logs show no
related compiler warnings. I am unable to test the NFC driver.
