ata: libata-core: fix NULL pointer deref in ata_host_alloc_pinfo()
[ Upstream commit bf476fe22aa1851bab4728e0c49025a6a0bea307 ]
In an unlikely (and probably wrong?) case that the 'ppi' parameter of
ata_host_alloc_pinfo() points to an array starting with a NULL pointer,
there's going to be a kernel oops as the 'pi' local variable won't get
reassigned from the initial value of NULL. Initialize 'pi' instead to
'&ata_dummy_port_info' to fix the possible kernel oops for good...
