commit 2280521719e81919283b82902ac24058f87dfc1b upstream.
When pci_pool_alloc fails in mvs_task_prep then task->lldd_task stays
NULL but it's later used in mvs_abort_task as slot which is passed
to mvs_slot_task_free causing NULL pointer dereference.
Just return from mvs_slot_task_free when passed with NULL slot.
