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

afs: Fix potential null pointer dereference in afs_put_server

afs_put_server() accessed server->debug_id before the NULL check, which
could lead to a null pointer dereference. Move the debug_id assignment,
ensuring we never dereference a NULL server pointer.
