[ Upstream commit 28ac8e03c43dfc6a703aa420d18222540b801120 ]
There are calls to idxd_cmd_exec that pass a null status pointer however
a recent commit has added an assignment to *status that can end up
with a null pointer dereference. The function expects a null status
pointer sometimes as there is a later assignment to *status where
status is first null checked. Fix the issue by null checking status
before making the assignment.
Addresses-Coverity: ("Explicit null dereferenced")
Fixes: 89e3becd8f82 ("dmaengine: idxd: check device state before issue command")
