commit 4684709bf81a2d98152ed6b610e3d5c403f9bced upstream.
If kobject_init_and_add() fails, pci_slot_release() is called to delete
slot->list from parent->slots. But slot->list hasn't been initialized
yet, so we dereference a NULL pointer:
Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address
00000000

Initialize slot->list before calling kobject_init_and_add() to avoid this.
