svn commit: r290140 - head/sys/kern

Log:
  Add missing NULL check in physio().
  
  When destroying a character device the si_devsw field is set to NULL
  before all references are gone, to indicate the character device is
  going away. This can cause a NULL-dereference fault inside physio().
  
  The callers of physio() should own a thread reference on the cdev and
  if si_devsw is seen as non-NULL, it is usable during the execution of
  the function. Else an ENXIO error code is returned.
