4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Rameshwar Prasad Sahu <rsahu@apm.com>
commit f1601113ddc0339a745e702f4fb1ca37d4875e65 upstream.
When tracing ata link error event, the kernel crashes when the disk is removed due to NULL pointer access by trace_ata_eh_link_autopsy API. This occurs as the dev is NULL when the disk disappeared. This patch fixes this crash by calling trace_ata_eh_link_autopsy only if "dev" is not NULL.
v2 changes: Removed direct passing "link" pointer instead of "dev" in trace API.
