The 0day bot reports the below failure which happens occasionally, with
their randconfig testing (once every ~100 boots). The Code points at
the private pointer ->driver_data being NULL, which hints at a race of
sorts where the private driver_data descriptor has disappeared by the
time we get to run the workqueue.
So let's check that pointer before we continue with issuing the command
to the drive.
This fix is of the brown paper bag nature but considering that IDE is
long deprecated, let's do that so that random testing which happens to
enable CONFIG_IDE during randconfig builds, doesn't fail because of
this.
Besides, failing the TEST_UNIT_READY command because the drive private
data is gone is something which we could simply do anyway, to denote
that there was a problem communicating with the device.
