Subject: [PATCH] PCI: endpoint: pci-epf-test: Add NULL check for DMA channels
 before release
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The fields dma_chan_tx and dma_chan_rx of the struct pci_epf_test can be
NULL even after EPF initialization. Then it is prudent to check that
they have non-NULL values before releasing the channels. Add the checks
in pci_epf_test_clean_dma_chan().

Without the checks, NULL pointer dereferences happen and they can lead
to a kernel panic in some cases:

  Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000000000000050
  Call trace:
