[PATCH] Avoid null-pointer access in w1/slaves/w1_therm

["Thorsten.Bschorr" <thorsten@bschorr.de>]

w1_slave_show unlocks the bus while waiting for the sensor
to convert the temperature. If the sensor gets disconnected
during that time, sl->family_data could get NULL.
Note: the w1_slave pointer inside w1_slave_show is protected by
sysfs-mutex
