2.6.27-longterm review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

commit cced5041ed5a2d1352186510944b0ddfbdbe4c0b upstream.

sym53c8xx_slave_destroy unconditionally assumes that sym53c8xx_slave_alloc has
succesesfully allocated a sym_lcb. This can lead to a NULL pointer dereference
(exposed by commit 4e6c82b).
