[PATCH] drivers: core: prevent dereferencing of a null pointer in device_move()

[Roman Smirnov]

Parameter new_parent can be equal to NULL. In this case if the 
drm_order parameter is equal to DRM_ORDER_DEV_AFTER_PARENT or
DRM_ORDER_PARENT_BEFORE_DEV, a null pointer will be dereferenced.

Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with Svace.
