I removed the check because ext_handler shouldn't be NULL if handler_flags
has a bit set (as per iommu_set_ext_fault_handler). But you're right that
this is fragile, and I overlooked the case where users could call
set_ext_fault_handler to clear the fault handler.
(Note that this ext_handler will most likely be replaced by the fault
infrastructure that Jacob is working on:
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/10063385/ to which we should add the
atomic/blocking flags)
Thanks,
Jean
