Subject: [PATCH] mmc: dw_mmc: Fix potential null pointer risk

In dw_mci_runtime_resume() 'host->slot' could be null, but check is not cover all corresponding code.
Fix this bug by changing check place.

Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.

In fact host->slot can never be NULL in dw_mci_runtime_resume() or in
dw_mci_runtime_suspend().

A better fix would thus be to remove the redundant checks.

At the same time there are few checks such as "if (host->slot)" in
dw_mci_runtime_resume() and commit
4a835afd808a3dbbac44bb399a902b822dc7445c message contains: "we
previously assumed 'host->slot' could be null, null pointer judgment
should be added" and replaces "if (host->slot->mmc->pm_flags &
MMC_PM_KEEP_POWER)" with "if (host->slot && host->slot->mmc->pm_flags &
MMC_PM_KEEP_POWER)"
So where is the truth?

It looks to me that the runtime PM callbacks are prevented from being
called, unless we have a host->slot assigned.

Just adding checks because it looks like the code could need it, isn't
always the correct thing to do. I would rather try to remove the
checks altogether and give it some tests to see how it plays.

Kind regards
