potential null pointer dereference in setup_cpuid_table

["Colin King (gmail)" <colin.i.king@gmail.com>]

Hi,

Static analysis with cppcheck found a potential null pointer dereference 
in function setup_cpuid_table in arch/x86/kernel/sev-shared.c as follows:

         if (!cc_info || !cc_info->cpuid_phys || cc_info->cpuid_len < 
PAGE_SIZE)
                 sev_es_terminate(SEV_TERM_SET_LINUX, GHCB_TERM_CPUID);

         cpuid_table_fw = (const struct snp_cpuid_table 
*)cc_info->cpuid_phys;


cc_info is being null checked, so it's potentially null, however, the 
assignment to cpuid_table_fw is dereferencing cc_info. Either cc_info is 
never null and the null check is redundant, or there is a potential null 
pointer dereference.
