Subject: [PATCH] [UBUNTU:sound/isa/sb/] Fix potential NULL pointer dereference in sb8_midi.c::snd_sb8dsp_midi_interrupt()

UpstreamStatus: Added in upstream alsa-kernel hg changeset ca292393434e
                http://hg-mirror.alsa-project.org/alsa-kernel?cmd=changeset;node=ca292393434eefefb7b37fa62d3fff170a964e4a;style=raw

Patch from Jesper Juhl <jesper.juhl at gmail.com> fixing Coverity #367. We
obviously don't want to dereference a pointer that was just tested for
NULL.
