[PATCH 3.12 23/72] mvsas: Fix NULL pointer dereference in mvs_slot_task_free

From: Jiri Slaby

From: DÄvis MosÄns <davispuh@xxxxxxxxx>

3.12-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

===============

commit 2280521719e81919283b82902ac24058f87dfc1b upstream.

When pci_pool_alloc fails in mvs_task_prep then task->lldd_task stays
NULL but it's later used in mvs_abort_task as slot which is passed
to mvs_slot_task_free causing NULL pointer dereference.

Just return from mvs_slot_task_free when passed with NULL slot.
