Subject: mmc: block: fix free of uninitialized 'idata->buf'

From: Ville Viinikka <ville@tuxera.com>

commit bfe5b1b1e013f7b1c0fd2ac3b3c8c380114b3fb9 upstream.

Set 'idata->buf' to NULL so that it never gets returned without
initialization. This fixes a bug where mmc_blk_ioctl_cmd() would
free both 'idata' and 'idata->buf' but 'idata->buf' was returned
uninitialized.
