Summary

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

comedi: ni_atmio16d: Fix invalid clean-up after failed attach

If the driver's COMEDI "attach" handler function (`atmio16d_attach()`)
returns an error, the COMEDI core will call the driver's "detach"
handler function (`atmio16d_detach()`) to clean up. This calls
`reset_atmio16d()` unconditionally, but depending on where the error
occurred in the attach handler, the device may not have been
sufficiently initialized to call `reset_atmio16d()`. It uses
`dev->iobase` as the I/O port base address and `dev->private` as the
pointer to the COMEDI device's private data structure. `dev->iobase`
may still be set to its initial value of 0, which would result in
undesired writes to low I/O port addresses. `dev->private` may still be
`NULL`, which would result in null pointer dereferences.

Fix `atmio16d_detach()` by checking that `dev->private` is valid
(non-null) before calling `reset_atmio16d()`. This implies that
`dev->iobase` was set correctly since that is set up before
`dev->private`.
