Subject: [RFC PATCH 0/1] block/cfq : Include check to avoid NULL Pointer

I believe to have found a NULL pointer dereference on the code, but as
I am new to this code I would like the opinion of more experienced people.

I am not sure if it is the right procedure to send it here, since this file
is not on the tree since v4.20. But as it still affects many stable releases,
I think it's worth the try.

Please let me know if there is a better procedure on this.
