The parent of an ib device is used to retrieve the PCI device attributes. It turns out that there are possible cases when an ib device has no parent set in the device structure, which may lead to page faults when trying to access this memory. Fix that by checking the parent pointer and consolidate the pci device specific processing in a new function.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
