[net 3/6] can: j1939: j1939_session_deactivate(): clarify lifetime of session object

[Marc Kleine-Budde <mkl@pengutronix.de>]

From: Oleksij Rempel <o.rempel@pengutronix.de>

The j1939_session_deactivate() is decrementing the session ref-count and
potentially can free() the session. This would cause use-after-free
situation.

However, the code calling j1939_session_deactivate() does always hold
another reference to the session, so that it would not be free()ed in
this code path.

This patch adds a comment to make this clear and a WARN_ON, to ensure
that future changes will not violate this requirement. Further this
patch avoids dereferencing the session pointer as a precaution to avoid
use-after-free if the session is actually free()ed.

Fixes: 9d71dd0c7009 ("can: add support of SAE J1939 protocol")
