Tuo Li b803811485 ACPI: processor: Fix NULL-pointer dereference in acpi_processor_errata_piix4()
[ Upstream commit f132e089fe ]

In acpi_processor_errata_piix4(), the pointer dev is first assigned an IDE
device and then reassigned an ISA device:

  dev = pci_get_subsys(..., PCI_DEVICE_ID_INTEL_82371AB, ...);
  dev = pci_get_subsys(..., PCI_DEVICE_ID_INTEL_82371AB_0, ...);

If the first lookup succeeds but the second fails, dev becomes NULL. This
leads to a potential null-pointer dereference when dev_dbg() is called:

  if (errata.piix4.bmisx)
    dev_dbg(&dev->dev, ...);

To prevent this, use two temporary pointers and retrieve each device
independently, avoiding overwriting dev with a possible NULL value.
