It is possible to dereference a NULL-pointer in hisi_sas_abort_task() in special scenario when the device has been removed. If an SMP task times-out, it will call hisi_sas_abort_task() to recover. And currently there is a check in hisi_sas_abort_task() to avoid the situation of processing the abort for the removed device. However we have an ordering problem, in that we may reference a task for the removed device before checking if the device has been removed. Fix this by only referencing the sas_dev after we know it is still present.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
