#1268763 — [PATCH 3.16.y-ckt 73/94] mvsas: Fix NULL pointer dereference in mvs_slot_task_free

3.16.7-ckt20 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: =?UTF-8?q?D=C4=81vis=20Mos=C4=81ns?= <davispuh@gmail.com>

commit 2280521719e81919283b82902ac24058f87dfc1b upstream.

When pci_pool_alloc fails in mvs_task_prep then task->lldd_task stays
NULL but it's later used in mvs_abort_task as slot which is passed
to mvs_slot_task_free causing NULL pointer dereference.

Just return from mvs_slot_task_free when passed with NULL slot.
