[Xen-devel] [PATCH] linux-2.6.18/blkfront: avoid NULL de-reference in CDROM ioctl handling

["Jan Beulich" <JBeulich@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Just like already done in the default case, for CDROM_GET_CAPABILITY
info->gd should not be blindly de-referenced, as the ioctl can be
called prior to full device setup having completed.
