[PATCH 4.1 002/123] cxl: Check if afu is not null in cxl_slbia

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

------------------

From: Daniel Axtens <dja@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 2c069a118fe1d80c47dca84e1561045fc7f3cc9e upstream.

The pointer to an AFU in the adapter's list of AFUs can be null
if we're in the process of removing AFUs. The afu_list_lock
doesn't guard against this.

Say we have 2 slices, and we're in the process of removing cxl.
- We remove the AFUs in order (see cxl_remove). In cxl_remove_afu
for AFU 0, we take the lock, set adapter->afu[0] = NULL, and
release the lock.
- Then we get an slbia. In cxl_slbia we take the lock, and set
afu = adapter->afu[0], which is NULL.
- Therefore our attempt to check afu->enabled will blow up.

Therefore, check if afu is a null pointer before dereferencing it.
