    [SCSI] ses: Avoid kernel panic when lun 0 is not mapped · d1e12de8

    During device discovery, scsi mid layer sends INQUIRY command to LUN
    0. If the LUN 0 is not mapped to host, it creates a temporary
    scsi_device with LUN id 0 and sends REPORT_LUNS command to it. After
    the REPORT_LUNS succeeds, it walks through the LUN table and adds each
    LUN found to sysfs. At the end of REPORT_LUNS lun table scan, it will
    delete the temporary scsi_device of LUN 0.
    
    When scsi devices are added to sysfs, it calls add_dev function of all
    the registered class interfaces. If ses driver has been registered,
    ses_intf_add() of ses module will be called. This function calls
    scsi_device_enclosure() to check the inquiry data for EncServ
    bit. Since inquiry was not allocated for temporary LUN 0 scsi_device,
    it will cause NULL pointer exception.
    
    To fix the problem, sdev->inquiry is checked for NULL before reading it.
