Subject: [PATCH] scsi: aic7xxx: aic79xx: fix potential null pointer
Git-commit: e73c864ba3b57cc3c5cc6b328b9da1b48637a6df
Patch-mainline: v4.18-rc1
References: bsc#1118139
 dereference on ahd

If AHD_DEBUG is enabled and ahd_platform_alloc fails then ahd is set to
null and the debug printk dereferences ahd when passing it to ahd_name.
Fix this by moving the debug printk to before the call to
ahd_platform_alloc where ahd is not null at that point.

Detected by CoverityScan, CID#100296 ("Explicit null dereference")
