Hi Maninder,

You are correct pdd was already dereferenced so this check is
redundant. However, I think a better patch would be to move the check
to where pdd is first acquired (a few lines above it), because I don't
see there any check.

Could you please do that and resend the patch ? Use latest v4.2-rc1
label from Linus please.

Thansk,
