sdata was checked, but there was no point checking it:
if as is not null, as->dma.dma_slave is defined ; so its address is not null.
it's the same in the filter function now:
if sl_pdata is not null, sl_pdata->dma_slave is defined ; so its
address is not null.

I added a check on sl_pdata in this patch, maybe a (BUG|WARN)_ON()
would have been better, as it really should not happen.
