In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
powerpc/pseries/iommu: Don't unset window if it was never set
On pSeries, when user attempts to use the same vfio container used by
different iommu group, the spapr_tce_set_window() returns -EPERM
and the subsequent cleanup leads to the below crash.
Kernel attempted to read user page (308) - exploit attempt?
BUG: Kernel NULL pointer dereference on read at 0x00000308
Faulting instruction address: 0xc0000000001ce358

Fix this by having null check for the tbl passed to the
spapr_tce_unset_window().
