if_info is a local variable that is passed to beiscsi_if_get_info. In
case of failure, the variable is free'd but not reset to NULL. The patch
avoids security issue by passing NULL to if_info.

That is just not true at all.

Stop submitting patches that you know are invalid.  Your experiment is
not ethical, and not welcome or appreciated.
