[PATCH] tracing: Fix mmiotrace possible NULL dereferencing of hiter->dev

Steven Rostedt <[email protected]>
Newsgroups org.kernel.vger.linux-trace-kernel,org.kernel.vger.linux-kernel
Message-ID <[email protected]>
From: Steven Rostedt <[email protected]>

If the mmio_pipe_open() fails to find a PCI device, the hiter->dev
will be assigned to NULL. The mmiotrace read() function dereferences the
hiter->dev if hiter exists.

Change the test of the read to not only check hiter being NULL, but also
the hiter->dev before dereferencing it.
