Subject: net: caif: clear client service pointer on teardown

From: Zhengchuan Liang <zcliangcn@gmail.com>

commit f7cf8ece8cee3c1ee361991470cdb1eb65ab02e8 upstream.

`caif_connect()` can tear down an existing client after remote shutdown by
calling `caif_disconnect_client()` followed by `caif_free_client()`.
`caif_free_client()` releases the service layer referenced by
`adap_layer->dn`, but leaves that pointer stale.

When the socket is later destroyed, `caif_sock_destructor()` calls
`caif_free_client()` again and dereferences the freed service pointer.

Clear the client/service links before releasing the service object so
repeated teardown becomes harmless.

Fixes: 43e369210108 ("caif: Move refcount from service layer to sock and dev.")
