In scenarios of continuous and parallel usage of multiple FFS interfaces and concurrent adb operations (e.g., adb root, adb reboot), there's a chance that ffs_epfile_async_io_complete() might be processed after ffs_epfile_release(). This could lead to a NULL pointer dereference of ffs when accessing the ffs pointer in ffs_epfile_async_io_complete(), as ffs is freed as part of ffs_epfile_release(). This epfile release is part of file operation and is triggered when user space daemons restart themselves or a reboot is initiated. Fix this issue by adding a NULL pointer check for ffs in ffs_epfile_async_io_complete().
