staging: unisys: neglect to NULL rcvbuf pointer
Neglect to NULL rcvbuf pointer array could result in faults later This problem would exhibit itself as a fault when when attempting to stop any visornic device (i.e., in visornic_disable_with_timeout() or visornic_serverdown_complete()) that had never been started (i.e., for which init_rcv_bufs() had never been called). Because the array of rcvbuf was never cleared to NULLs, we would mistakenly attempt to call kfree_skb() on garbage memory.
