Subject: drivers/mmc: Move dereference after NULL test
From: Julia Lawall <julia@xxxxxxx>

If the NULL test on mrq is needed, then the derefernce should be after the
NULL test.

A simplified version of the semantic match that detects this problem is as
follows (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/):

// <smpl>
@match exists@
expression x, E;
identifier fld;
@@

* x->fld
  ... when != \(x = E\|&x\)
* x == NULL
// </smpl>
