Subject: staging: comedi: pcmuio: fix possible NULL deref on detach
From: Ian Abbott <abbotti@xxxxxxxxx>
commit 2fd2bdfccae61efe18f6b92b6a45fbf936d75b48 upstream.
pcmuio_detach() is called by the comedi core even if pcmuio_attach()
returned an error, so `dev->private` might be `NULL`. Check for that
before dereferencing it.
Also, as pointed out by Dan Carpenter, there is no need to check the
pointer passed to `kfree()` is non-NULL, so remove that check.
