Subject: [PATCH 12/20] cciss: Fix excessive gendisk freeing bug on driver
	unload.

Fix bug that free_hba was calling put_disk for all gendisk[]
pointers -- all 1024 of them -- regardless of whether the were
used or not (NULL).  This bug could cause rmmod to oops if logical
drives had been deleted during the driver's lifetime.
