BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at           (null)

1) plip is loaded and takes the parport device for exclusive use:
   plip0: Parallel port at 0x378, using IRQ 7.

2) pps_parport then fails to grab the device:
   pps_parport: parallel port PPS client
   parport0: cannot grant exclusive access for device pps_parport
   pps_parport: couldn't register with parport0

3) rmmod of pps_parport is then killed because it tries to access
    pardev->name, but pardev (taken from port->cad) is NULL.

So add a check for NULL in the test there too.
