Subject: [PATCH][next] scsi: hpsa: fix an uninitialized read and dereference of 
pointer dev

From: Colin Ian King <[email protected]>

Currently the check for a lockup_detected failure exits via the label 
return_reset_status that reads and dereferences an uninitialized pointer dev.  
Fix this by ensuring dev is inintialized to null.

Addresses-Coverity: ("Uninitialized pointer read")
Fixes: 14991a5bade5 ("scsi: hpsa: correct device resets")
Signed-off-by: Colin Ian King <[email protected]>

I sent up a similar patch on 5/16, but this is just as good.
Acked-by: Don Brace <[email protected]>

Thanks for your patch.
