Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL for 4.9 133/293] iwlwifi: mvm: reset the fw_dump_desc
 pointer after ASSERT

From: Emmanuel Grumbach <emmanuel.grumbach@...el.com>

[ Upstream commit a509a248bb31ea013c4c2b6801297a2d82eecd43 ]

When we get an ASSERT, the fw_dump_desc pointer points to
iwl_mvm_dump_desc_assert which can't be freed since it is
a global. We still need to NULL'ify the pointer when we
call iwl_mvm_free_fw_dump_desc otherwise we will hit

int iwl_mvm_fw_dbg_collect_desc(struct iwl_mvm *mvm,
                                const struct iwl_mvm_dump_desc *desc,
                                const struct iwl_fw_dbg_trigger_tlv *trigger)
{
<snip>
        if (WARN_ON(mvm->fw_dump_desc))
                iwl_mvm_free_fw_dump_desc(mvm);
