xen-blkfront: check for null drvdata in blkback_changed (XenbusStateClosing)
[ Upstream commit a54c8f0f2d7df525ff997e2afe71866a1a013064 ] xen-blkfront will crash if the check to talk_to_blkback() in blkback_changed()(XenbusStateInitWait) returns an error. The driver data is freed and info is set to NULL. Later during the close process via talk_to_blkback's call to xenbus_dev_fatal() the null pointer is passed to and dereference in blkfront_closing.
