Subject: [ 13/71] libata: fix Null pointer dereference on disk error

3.0-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Xiaotian Feng <xtfeng@...il.com>

commit 26cd4d65deba587f3cf2329b6869ce02bcbe68ec upstream.

Following oops were observed when disk error happened:

[ 4272.896937] sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Unhandled error code
[ 4272.896939] sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Result: hostbyte=DID_BAD_TARGET driverbyte=DRIVER_OK

ata_scsi_find_dev could return NULL, so ata_scsi_activity_{show,store} should check if atadev is NULL.
