commit e2aaf2d3ad92ac4a8afa6b69ad4c38e7747d3d6e upstream.

The driver uses hidpp->send_receive_buf to point to a stack-allocated
buffer in the synchronous command path (__do_hidpp_send_message_sync).
However, this pointer is not cleared when the function returns.

If an event is processed (e.g. by a different thread) while the
send_mutex is held by a new command, but before that command has
updated send_receive_buf, the handler (hidpp_raw_hidpp_event) will
observe that the mutex is locked and dereference the stale pointer.

This results in an out-of-bounds access on a different thread's kernel
stack (or a NULL pointer dereference on the very first command).

Fix this by:
1. Clearing hidpp->send_receive_buf to NULL before releasing the mutex
   in the synchronous command path.
2. Moving the assignment of the local 'question' and 'answer' pointers
   inside the mutex_is_locked() block in the handler, and adding
   a NULL check before dereferencing.

Queued for 6.1, 5.15 and 5.10, thanks.
