staging: unisys: prevent faults processing messages

Browse source

Prevent faults processing messages for devices that no driver has yet
registered to handle.

Previously, code of the form:

    drv = to_visor_driver(dev->device.driver);
    if (!drv)
        goto away;

was not having the desired intent, because to_visor_driver() was
essentially returning garbage if its argument was NULL.  The only existing
case of this is in initiate_chipset_device_pause_resume(), which is called
during IOVM service partition recovery.  We were thus faulting when IOVM
service partition recovery was initiated on a bus that had at least one
device for which no function driver had registered
(visorbus_register_visor_driver).
