Subject: [PATCH 4.9 01/83] powerpc/eeh: Fix possible null deref in eeh_dump_dev_log()

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

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

From: Sam Bobroff <sbobroff@...ux.ibm.com>

[ Upstream commit f9bc28aedfb5bbd572d2d365f3095c1becd7209b ]

If an error occurs during an unplug operation, it's possible for
eeh_dump_dev_log() to be called when edev->pdn is null, which
currently leads to dereferencing a null pointer.

Handle this by skipping the error log for those devices.
