Srivatsa S. Bhat cf31cd1a0c ACPI idle, CPU hotplug: Fix NULL pointer dereference during hotplug 
On a KVM guest, when a CPU is taken offline and brought back online, we hit
the following NULL pointer dereference:

Analysis:
Commit 3d339dc (cpuidle / ACPI : move cpuidle_device field out of the
acpi_processor_power structure()) made the allocation of the dev structure
(struct cpuidle) of a CPU dynamic, whereas previously it was statically
allocated. And this dynamic allocation occurs in acpi_processor_power_init()
if pr->flags.power evaluates to non-zero.

On KVM guests, pr->flags.power evaluates to zero, hence dev is never
allocated. This causes the NULL pointer (dev) dereference in
cpuidle_disable_device() during a subsequent CPU online operation. Fix this
by ensuring that dev is non-NULL before dereferencing.
