4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Toshi Kani <[email protected]> commit 23fbd7c70aec7600e3227eb24259fc55bf6e4881 upstream. A NULL pointer reference kernel bug was observed when acpi_nfit_add_dimm() called in acpi_nfit_register_dimms() failed. This error path does not set nfit_mem->nvdimm, but the 2nd list_for_each_entry() loop in the function assumes it's always set. Add a check to nfit_mem->nvdimm.
