[PATCH] scsi: arcmsr: fix NULL deref on dma_alloc_coherent() failure in arcmsr_alloc_xor_buffer()

arcmsr_alloc_xor_buffer() does not check the return value of the
initial dma_alloc_coherent() call before using it. If the allocation
fails, the code performs pointer arithmetic on the NULL base
(computing pXorPhys and pXorVirt) and later unconditionally
dereferences it through pRamBuf to write hrbSignature and other
fields, causing a NULL pointer dereference.

Additionally, acb->xor_mega is set unconditionally before the
allocation attempt, based only on firmware status bits. If the
allocation fails, acb->xor_mega remains nonzero, so the later
cleanup path in arcmsr_free_ccb_pool() and the message-config code
in arcmsr_iop_confirm() will still enter their "if (acb->xor_mega)"
branches and dereference the never-set acb->xorVirt/acb->xorPhys,
a second NULL pointer dereference on the allocation failure path.

Fix this by checking the initial dma_alloc_coherent() result and, on
failure, resetting acb->xor_mega to 0 before returning -ENOMEM, so
that no code path treats the XOR buffer as present when it was never
allocated.

Found by static analysis; no hardware reproducer.
