[PATCH 10/25] spusched: fix null pointer dereference in find_victim

[Jeremy Kerr]

From: Christoph Hellwig <hch at lst.de>

find_victim can dereference a NULL pointer when iterating over the list
of victim spus because list_mutex only guarantees spu->ct to be stable,
but of course not to be non-NULL.

Also fix find_victim to not call spu_unbind_context without list_mutex
because that violates the above guarantee.
