On pSeries, when user attempts to use the same vfio container used by different iommu group, the spapr_tce_set_window() returns -EPERM and the subsequent cleanup leads to the below crash.
Kernel attempted to read user page (308) - exploit attempt?

Fix this by having null check for the tbl passed to the spapr_tce_unset_window().
