Subject: [PATCH 3.9-stable] NTB: variable dereferenced before check

This patch looks like it should be in the 3.9-stable tree, should we apply
it?

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

From: "Jon Mason <jon.mason@...el.com>"

commit 186f27ff9f9ec5c110739ced88ce9f8fca053882 upstream

Correct instances of variable dereferencing before checking its value on
the functions exported to the client drivers.  Also, add sanity checks
for all exported functions.
