      dma-debug: Do not add notifier when dma debugging is disabled. · f797d988
      Shaun Ruffell authored
      If CONFIG_HAVE_DMA_API_DEBUG is defined and "dma_debug=off" is
      specified on the kernel command line, when you detach a driver from a
      device you can cause the following NULL pointer dereference:
      
      BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at (null)
      IP: [<c0580d35>] dma_debug_device_change+0x5d/0x117
      
      The problem is that the dma_debug_device_change notifier function is
      added to the bus notifier chain even though the dma_entry_hash array
      was never initialized.  If dma debugging is disabled, this patch both
      prevents dma_debug_device_change notifiers from being added to the
      chain, and additionally ensures that the dma_debug_device_change
      notifier function is a no-op.
