3.5-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Kleber Sacilotto de Souza <kleb...@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
commit 10db8d212864cb6741df7d7fafda5ab6661f6f88 upstream.
Function eeh_event_handler() dereferences the pointer returned by
handle_eeh_events() without checking, causing a crash if NULL was
returned, which is expected in some situations.
This patch fixes this bug by checking for the value returned by
handle_eeh_events() before dereferencing it.
