#1416372 — [PATCH] pps: do not crash when failed to register

With this command sequence:
 modprobe plip
 modprobe pps_parport
 rmmod pps_parport
the partport_pps modules causes this crash:

===

BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at           (null)
IP: [<ffffffffa110301d>] parport_detach+0x1d/0x60 [pps_parport]
Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP
...
Call Trace:
 [<ffffffffa036a185>] parport_unregister_driver+0x65/0xc0 [parport]
 [<ffffffff810ff667>] SyS_delete_module+0x187/0x210

===

1) plip is loaded and takes the parport device for exclusive use:
  plip0: Parallel port at 0x378, using IRQ 7.

2) pps_parport then fails to grab the device:
  pps_parport: parallel port PPS client
  parport0: cannot grant exclusive access for device pps_parport
  pps_parport: couldn't register with parport0

3) rmmod of pps_parport is then killed because it tries to access
   pardev->name, but pardev (taken from port->cad) is NULL.

So add a check for NULL in the test there too.
