[PATCH AUTOSEL 5.2 138/249] lightnvm: fix uninitialized pointer in nvm_remove_tgt()

[Sasha Levin]

From: Geert Uytterhoeven <geert@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 2f5af4ab7de14bd35f3435e6a47300276bbb6c17 ]

With gcc 4.1:

    drivers/lightnvm/core.c: In function ânvm_remove_tgtâ:
    drivers/lightnvm/core.c:510: warning: âtâ is used uninitialized in this function

Indeed, if no NVM devices have been registered, t will be an
uninitialized pointer, and may be dereferenced later.  A call to
nvm_remove_tgt() can be triggered from userspace by issuing the
NVM_DEV_REMOVE ioctl on the lightnvm control device.

Fix this by preinitializing t to NULL.

Fixes: 843f2edbdde085b4 ("lightnvm: do not remove instance under global lock")
