Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

nvme: fix multipath crash caused by flush request when blktrace is enabled

The flush request initialized by blk_kick_flush has NULL bio,
and it may be dealt with nvme_end_req during io completion.
When blktrace is enabled, nvme_trace_bio_complete with multipath
activated trying to access NULL pointer bio from flush request
results in the following crash:

To avoid this situation, add a NULL check for req->bio before
calling trace_block_bio_complete.
