Subject: [PATCH] scsi: dpt_i2o: fix a potential use-after-free in __adpt_reset()

__adpt_reset() invokes adpt_hba_reset(), which can free "pHba"
on error paths and return an negative error code in those
situations. The problem is that "pHba" is from the global pointer
"cmd->device->host->hostdata[0]", regardless of the possible free
of "pHba", that original global pointer is never nullified and
thus may become a dangling pointer and be dereferenced later,
potentially causing a use-after-free.

Fix the issue by nullifying "cmd->device->host->hostdata[0]" if
adpt_hba_reset() returns a negative error code to __adpt_reset(),
which indicates the free of "pHba". Also add a NULL check before
any dereference of "pHba", or the aliased global pointer. Note
that the similar NULL check already exists at other places, like
in adpt_queue_lck().
