Subject: [PATCH 4.9 57/60] vTPM: Fix missing NULL check

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

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

From: Hon Ching \(Vicky\) Lo <honclo@...ux.vnet.ibm.com>

commit 31574d321c70f6d3b40fe98f9b2eafd9a903fef9 upstream.

The current code passes the address of tpm_chip as the argument to
dev_get_drvdata() without prior NULL check in
tpm_ibmvtpm_get_desired_dma.  This resulted an oops during kernel
boot when vTPM is enabled in Power partition configured in active
memory sharing mode.

The vio_driver's get_desired_dma() is called before the probe(), which
for vtpm is tpm_ibmvtpm_probe, and it's this latter function that
initializes the driver and set data.  Attempting to get data before
the probe() caused the problem.

This patch adds a NULL check to the tpm_ibmvtpm_get_desired_dma.
