If kobject_init_and_add() fails, pci_slot_release() is called to delete
slot->list from parent->slots. But slot->list hasn't been initialized
yet, so we dereference a NULL pointer:
Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address

Initialize slot->list before calling kobject_init_and_add() to avoid this.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
