Hi,

I hit an Oops with the latest Linus tree (4.12-rc7+) on a HSW machine
like the following at boot:

The band-aid patch below seems fixing it.

Subject: [PATCH] drm/i915: Fix NULL-dereference at intel_fbdev_invalidate()

The commit fabef825626d ("drm/i915: Drop struct_mutex around
frontbuffer flushes") caused an Oops at boot on a HSW machine like:

BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 00000000000000b0
IP: intel_fbdev_invalidate.isra.3+0xc/0x40 [i915]
Oops: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP

Hardware name: Hewlett-Packard HP ProBook 430 G1/1946, BIOS L73 Ver. 08.05 2013/03/15
Call Trace:
? intel_fbdev_restore_mode+0x4e/0x70 [i915]
i915_driver_lastclose+0xe/0x20 [i915]

exit_to_usermode_loop+0x59/0x85
do_syscall_64+0xb3/0xd0
entry_SYSCALL64_slow_path+0x25/0x25

As this is a simple NULL dereference, check it before reference as a
band-aid fix.
