[PATCH 4.9 175/175] PCI: Fix pci_slot_release() NULL pointer dereference

commit 4684709bf81a2d98152ed6b610e3d5c403f9bced upstream.

If kobject_init_and_add() fails, pci_slot_release() is called to delete
slot->list from parent->slots. But slot->list hasn't been initialized
yet, so we dereference a NULL pointer:

Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address

Initialize slot->list before calling kobject_init_and_add() to avoid this.
