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

can: bcm: Clear bo->bcm_proc_read after remove_proc_entry().

syzbot reported a warning in bcm_release(). [0]

The blamed change fixed another warning that is triggered when
connect() is issued again for a socket whose connect()ed device has
been unregistered.

However, if the socket is just close()d without the 2nd connect(), the
remaining bo->bcm_proc_read triggers unnecessary remove_proc_entry()
in bcm_release().

Let's clear bo->bcm_proc_read after remove_proc_entry() in bcm_notify().
