Subject: [PATCH 5.5 27/46] nvmem: check for NULL reg_read and reg_write before dereferencing

From: Nicholas Johnson <nicholas.johnson-opensource@...look.com.au>

commit 3c91ef69a3e94f78546b246225ed573fbf1735b4 upstream.

Return -EPERM if reg_read is NULL in bin_attr_nvmem_read() or if
reg_write is NULL in bin_attr_nvmem_write().

This prevents NULL dereferences such as the one described in
03cd45d2e219 ("thunderbolt: Prevent crash if non-active NVMem file is
read")
