Sebastian Sanchez d7683a5c8c IB/hfi1: Fix NULL pointer dereference when invalid num_vls is used
commit 45d924571a upstream.

When an invalid num_vls is used as a module parameter, the code
execution follows an exception path where the macro dd_dev_err()
expects dd->pcidev->dev not to be NULL in hfi1_init_dd(). This
causes a NULL pointer dereference.

Fix hfi1_init_dd() by initializing dd->pcidev and dd->pcidev->dev
earlier in the code. If a dd exists, then dd->pcidev and
dd->pcidev->dev always exists.

BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
