alarmtimers: Avoid possible null pointer traversal
commit 971c90bfa2f0b4fe52d6d9002178d547706f1343 upstream. We don't check if old_setting is non null before assigning it, so correct this. CC: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Signed-off-by: John Stultz <john.stultz@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
