Shin'ichiro Kawasaki 85afa9ea12 PCI: endpoint: pci-epf-test: Add NULL check for DMA channels before release
The fields dma_chan_tx and dma_chan_rx of the struct pci_epf_test can be
NULL even after EPF initialization. Then it is prudent to check that
they have non-NULL values before releasing the channels. Add the checks
in pci_epf_test_clean_dma_chan().

Without the checks, NULL pointer dereferences happen and they can lead
to a kernel panic in some cases:

  Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000000000000050
  Call trace:

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
