[PATCH] soundwire: intel: fix possible crash when no device is detected (was Re: Crash in acpi_ns_validate_handle triggered by soundwire on Linux 5.10)

Well, this is embarrassing. There's no compiler bug, just me being
confused, because I looked at handle instead of *handle.
The stack protector thing was of course a red herring - it
changed what is on the stack and where...

If the patch below will be corrupted by the Gmail interface, I also
pushed it here:

Subject: [PATCH] soundwire: intel: fix possible crash when no device is
 detected

acpi_walk_namespace can return success without executing our
callback which initializes info->handle.
If the random value in this structure is a valid address (which
is on the stack, so it's quite possible), then nothing bad will
happen, because:
sdw_intel_scan_controller
 -> acpi_bus_get_device
 -> acpi_get_device_data
 -> acpi_get_data_full
 -> acpi_ns_validate_handle
will reject this handle.

However, if the value from the stack doesn't point to a valid
address, we get this:
