[PATCH 4.9 57/70] partitions/aix: fix usage of uninitialized lv_info and lvname structures

[Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>]

4.9-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Mauricio Faria de Oliveira <mfo@canonical.com>

[ Upstream commit 14cb2c8a6c5dae57ee3e2da10fa3db2b9087e39e ]

The if-block that sets a successful return value in aix_partition()
uses 'lvip[].pps_per_lv' and 'n[].name' potentially uninitialized.

For example, if 'numlvs' is zero or alloc_lvn() fails, neither is
initialized, but are used anyway if alloc_pvd() succeeds after it.

So, make the alloc_pvd() call conditional on their initialization.

This has been hit when attaching an apparently corrupted/stressed
AIX LUN, misleading the kernel to pr_warn() invalid data and hang.

    [...] partition (null) (11 pp's found) is not contiguous
    [...] partition (null) (2 pp's found) is not contiguous
    [...] partition (null) (3 pp's found) is not contiguous
    [...] partition (null) (64 pp's found) is not contiguous
