ata: libata-core: Fix null pointer dereference on error
[ Upstream commit 5d92c7c566dc76d96e0e19e481d926bbe6631c1e ]
If the ata_port_alloc() call in ata_host_alloc() fails,
ata_host_release() will get called.
However, the code in ata_host_release() tries to free ata_port struct
members unconditionally, which can lead to the following:
