IB/uverbs: Fix NULL pointer dereference during device removal As part of ib_uverbs_remove_one which might be triggered upon reset flow, we trigger IB_EVENT_DEVICE_FATAL event to userspace application. If device was removed after uverbs fd was opened but before ib_uverbs_get_context was called, the event file will be accessed before it was allocated, result in NULL pointer dereference: [ 72.325873] BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at (null) ...
