Subject: [PATCH 3.11 38/46] cpuidle: Check the result of cpuidle_get_driver() against NULL

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

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

From: Daniel Fu <danifu@...dia.com>

commit 3b9c10e98021e1f92e6f8c7ce1778b86ba68db10 upstream.

If the current CPU has no cpuidle driver, drv will be NULL in
cpuidle_driver_ref().  Check if that is the case before trying
to bump up the driver's refcount to prevent the kernel from
crashing.
