3.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@oracle.com>
commit 432798195bbce1f8cd33d1c0284d0538835e25fb upstream.
I was trying to solve a double free but I introduced a more serious NULL dereference bug. The problem is that if there is an IRQ which triggers immediately, then we need "info->uio_dev" but it's not set yet.
This patch puts the original initialization back to how it was and just sets info->uio_dev to NULL on the error path so it should solve both the Oops and the double free.
