    dma-debug: Fix check_unmap null pointer dereference · ec9c96ef
    Kyle McMartin authored
    While it's debatable whether or not a NULL device argument to
    the DMA API functions is valid... since it certainly isn't
    valid on devices with an IOMMU... dma-debug really shouldn't be
    dereferencing null pointers either.
    
    Guard against that in err_printk and the driver_filter
    functions. A Fedora rawhide user was seeing this in one of the
    dvb drivers resulting in an oops on boot.
    
    [ A patch has been sent for testing to the driver, but I feel
      the dma debugging support should be fixed as well. (There's
      still a pile of legacy garbage in the kernel passing null
      pointers to dma_{alloc,free}_*. :( ]
