[patch 19/20] cciss: fix use-after-free in cciss_init_one

-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------
From: Patrick McHardy <kaber@xxxxxxxxx>

free_hba() sets hba[i] to NULL, the dereference afterwards results in this
crash. Setting busy_initializing to 0 actually looks unnecessary, but I'm
not entirely sure, which is why I left it in.

cciss: controller appears to be disabled
