Subject[PATCH] libnvdimm: Fix dereference of pointer ndns before it is null checked
Date
In current code, the pointer ndns is being dereferenced on the
initialization of pointer parent_uuid before ndns is null check. This
could lead to a potential null pointer dereference. Fix this by
dereferencing ndns after ndns has been null pointer sanity checked.
