Thanks Sultan for suggesting this fix. Yes, its hard to believe that
this slipped through until now.

Instead of initializing *bo=NULL, I suggest ensuring *bo is actually
NULL before calling amdgpu_bo_create_kernel().

int isp_kernel_buffer_alloc(...)
{
...
if (WARN_ON(*bo))
return -EINVAL;
...
ret = amdgpu_bo_create_kernel(..)
...
}

This way the caller will get to know parameters passed are invalid and
can take care of initializing the handles appropriately.

Thanks,
Pratap
