Subject[ 12/72] ARM: 7326/2: PL330: fix null pointer dereference in pl330_chan_ctrl()
3.2-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Javi Merino <javi.merino@arm.com>

commit 46e33c606af8e0caeeca374103189663d877c0d6 upstream.

This fixes the thrd->req_running field being accessed before thrd
is checked for null. The error was introduced in

abb959f: ARM: 7237/1: PL330: Fix driver freeze
