3.8.13.25 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Nicholas Bellinger <nab@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit f1453773514bb8b0bba0716301e8c8f17f8d39c7 upstream.
This patch fixes a OOPs where an attempt to write to the per-device
alua_access_state configfs attribute at:
/sys/kernel/config/target/core/$HBA/$DEV/alua/$TG_PT_GP/alua_access_state
results in an NULL pointer dereference when the backend device has not
yet been configured.
This patch adds an explicit check for DF_CONFIGURED, and fails with
-ENODEV to avoid this case.
