Subject: [PATCH v2] cxl: Fix possible null pointer dereference in read_handle()

In read_handle(), of_get_address() may return NULL which is later
dereferenced. Fix this by adding NULL check.

Cc: stable@...r.kernel.org
Fixes: 14baf4d9c739 ("cxl: Add guest-specific code")
Signed-off-by: Ma Ke <make24@...as.ac.cn>

Changes in v2:
- The potential vulnerability was discovered as follows: based on our 
customized static analysis tool, extract vulnerability features[1], and 
then match similar vulnerability features in this function.
