[PATCH 3.16 60/72] appletalk: Fix potential NULL pointer dereference in unregister_snap_client

[Ben Hutchings]

3.16.79-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: YueHaibing <yuehaibing@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 9804501fa1228048857910a6bf23e085aade37cc upstream.

register_snap_client may return NULL, all the callers
check it, but only print a warning. This will result in
NULL pointer dereference in unregister_snap_client and other
places.

It has always been used like this since v2.6
