[PATCH 2.4] - drivers/pci/pci.c NULL pointer fix.

["Luiz Fernando N. Capitulino" <lcapitulino@conectiva.com.br>]

 Marcelo,

 This is another bug fix: the function pci/pci.c::pci_add_new_bus() does not
check the return of pci_alloc_bus(). If this function returns NULL, `child'
can be utilised.

 In the patch bellow I added the check, if the call that pci_scan_bridge()
is doing to pci_alloc_bus() return NULL, pci_scan_bridge() returns `max'
(Greg accepted this fix for 2.6, a while ago).

(against 2.4.28-pre2)
