eeh_pe_bus_get() can return NULL if a PCI bus isn't found for a given PE.
Some callers don't check this, and can cause a null pointer dereference
under certain circumstances.

Fix this by checking NULL everywhere eeh_pe_bus_get() is called.

Cc: stable #3.10+
This looks like it's a fix for 8a6b1bc70dbb ("powerpc/eeh: EEH core to handle
special event") ?

Which was merged in v3.11-rc1.

If so I'll add a fixes line pointing at that commit and update the stable tag
to
v3.11+.
Thanks.

Also, the other two patches in this series shouldn't go to stable, that was my
mistake.
cheers
