Subject: [PATCH 5/9] NTB: Fix oops in debugfs when transport is half-up

From: Dave Jiang <dave.jiang@...el.com>

When the remote side is not up, we do not have all the context for the
transport, and that causes NULL ptr access. Have the debugfs reads check
to see if transport is up before we make access.
