xen/blkfront: avoid NULL blkfront_info dereference on device removal
If a block device is hot-added when we are out of grants, gnttab_grant_foreign_access fails with -ENOSPC (log message "28 granting access to ring page") in this code path: talk_to_blkback -> setup_blkring -> xenbus_grant_ring -> gnttab_grant_foreign_access and the failing path in talk_to_blkback sets the driver_data to NULL: destroy_blkring: blkif_free(info, 0); mutex_lock(&blkfront_mutex); free_info(info); mutex_unlock(&blkfront_mutex); dev_set_drvdata(&dev->dev, NULL); This results in a NULL pointer BUG when blkfront_remove and blkif_free try to access the failing device's NULL struct blkfront_info.
