commit 01e20b664f808a4f3048ca3f930911fd257209bd upstream.
In `ni_find_route_source()`, `tables->route_values` gets dereferenced. However it is possible that `tables->route_values` is `NULL`, leading to a null pointer dereference. `tables->route_values` will be `NULL` if the call to `ni_assign_device_routes()` during board initialization returned an error due to missing device family routing information or missing board-specific routing information. For example, there is currently no board-specific routing information provided for the PCIe-6251 board and several other boards, so those are affected by this bug.
The bug is triggered when `ni_find_route_source()` is called via `ni_check_trigger_arg()` or `ni_check_trigger_arg_roffs()` when checking the arguments for setting up asynchronous commands. Fix it by returning `-EINVAL` if `tables->route_values` is `NULL`.
Even with this fix, setting up asynchronous commands to use external trigger sources for boards with missing routing information will still fail gracefully. Since `ni_find_route_source()` only depends on the device family routing information, it would be better if that was made available even if the board-specific routing information is missing. That will be addressed by another patch.
