sym53c8xx_slave_destroy unconditionally assumes that sym53c8xx_slave_alloc has
succesesfully allocated a sym_lcb. This can lead to a NULL pointer dereference
(exposed by commit 4e6c82b).

Any comments/ack/nack on the patch?

Applied it to 3.1.3, 3.1.4, 3.1.5, and 3.2-rc6. Previously loading
sym53c8xx (with my sym53c875 card) would cause a kernel panic during bootup
(worked fine on 3.1.0, 3.1.1, and the 2.6.x kernels, was sort of broken in
3.1.2, and panic'ed in 3.1.3-onwards). Now I can boot just fine!
Thank you very much!
Chris
