Shaohua Li 0d06a42f79 block/nullb: fix NULL dereference
Dan reported this:

The patch 2984c8684f96: "nullb: factor disk parameters" from Aug 14,
2017, leads to the following Smatch complaint:

drivers/block/null_blk.c:1759 null_init_tag_set()
	 error: we previously assumed 'nullb' could be null (see line
1750)

  1755		set->cmd_size	= sizeof(struct nullb_cmd);
  1756		set->flags = BLK_MQ_F_SHOULD_MERGE;
  1757		set->driver_data = NULL;
  1758
  1759		if (nullb->dev->blocking)
                    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
And an unchecked dereference.

nullb could be NULL here.

README

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

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
