[PATCH 3/3] media: venus: don't de-reference NULL pointers at IRQ time
From: Mauro Carvalho Chehab

Smatch is warning that:
drivers/media/platform/qcom/venus/hfi_venus.c:1100 venus_isr() warn: variable dereferenced before check 'hdev' (see line 1097)
The logic basically does:
hdev = to_hfi_priv(core);
with is translated to:
hdev = core->priv;
If the IRQ code can receive a NULL pointer for hdev, there's
a bug there, as it will first try to de-reference the pointer,
and then check if it is null.
After looking at the code, it seems that this indeed can happen:
Basically, the venus IRQ thread is started with:
devm_request_threaded_irq()
So, it will only be freed after the driver unbinds.
In order to prevent the IRQ code to work with freed data,
the logic at venus_hfi_destroy() sets core->priv to NULL,
which would make the IRQ code to ignore any pending IRQs.
There is, however a race condition, as core->priv is set
to NULL only after being freed. So, we need also to move the
core->priv = NULL to happen earlier.
