Subject: [PATCH 4.14 22/89] IB/hfi1: Prevent a NULL dereference

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

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

From: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@...cle.com>

commit 57194fa763bfa1a0908f30d4c77835beaa118fcb upstream.

In the original code, we set "fd->uctxt" to NULL and then dereference it
which will cause an Oops.

Fixes: f2a3bc00a03c ("IB/hfi1: Protect context array set/clear with spinlock")
