ACPI: Add NULL pointer check in acpi_bus_start
If acpi_bus_add does not return a device and it's passed to acpi_bus_start, bad things will happen: BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000008 IP: [<ffffffff8128402d>] acpi_bus_start+0x14/0x24 ... [<ffffffffa008977a>] acpiphp_bus_add+0xba/0x130 [acpiphp] [<ffffffffa008aa72>] enable_device+0x132/0x2ff [acpiphp] [<ffffffffa0089b68>] acpiphp_enable_slot+0xb8/0x130 [acpiphp] [<ffffffffa0089df7>] handle_hotplug_event_func+0x87/0x190 [acpiphp] Next patch would make this NULL pointer check obsolete, but better having one more than one missing...
