acpi_pci_root_add() assigns the freshly allocated root to
device->driver_data before dmar_device_add() and pci_acpi_scan_root().
Both failure paths reach the end: label where root is kfree()'d, but
only the pci_acpi_scan_root() path clears driver_data first.
When dmar_device_add() fails during a hot-add, root is freed while
device->driver_data still points at it. The ACPI core does not clear
driver_data on attach failure, so a later acpi_pci_find_root() call
may dereference this dangling pointer.
Move the NULL assignment to the shared end: label so every error path
clears driver_data before freeing root.
Fixes: db89b4f0dbab ("ACPI: catch calls of acpi_driver_data on pointer of wrong type")
