Subject: [PATCH 3.19.y-ckt 67/86] spi: spidev: fix possible NULL dereference

3.19.8-ckt9 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Sudip Mukherjee <sudipm.mukherjee@...il.com>

commit dd85ebf681ef0ee1fc985c353dd45e8b53b5dc1e upstream.

During the last close we are freeing spidev if spidev->spi is NULL, but
just before checking if spidev->spi is NULL we are dereferencing it.
Lets add a check there to avoid the NULL dereference.

Fixes: 9169051617df ("spi: spidev: Don't mangle max_speed_hz in underlying spi device")
