PCI: Avoid potential NULL pointer dereference in pci_scan_bridge

Browse Source 
pci_add_new_bus() calls pci_alloc_child_bus() which calls pci_alloc_bus()
that allocates memory dynamically with kzalloc(). The return value of
kzalloc() is the pointer that's eventually returned from
pci_add_new_bus(), so since kzalloc() can fail and return NULL so can
pci_add_new_bus(). Thus we may end up dereferencing a NULL pointer in
drivers/pci/probe.c::pci_scan_bridge(). Seems to me we should test for
this and bail out if it happens rather than crashing.
Also removed some trailing whitespace that bugged me while looking at
this.
