RE: [PATCH 3.9-stable] NTB: variable dereferenced before check

[Jonghwan Choi]

Jon Mason agrees that this could also be applied to the 3.9

"Yes, please do.  I'll respond to each of the patch series, but please apply
them all.  Also, one patch was omitted from these, titled
NTB: variable dereferenced before check

Please include that patch in 3.9 stable as well.
"

Thanks.

Best Regards.
