gcc points out an uninialized pointer dereference that could happen
if we ever get to recv_ishtp_cl_msg_dma() or recv_ishtp_cl_msg()
with an empty &dev->read_list:

drivers/hid/intel-ish-hid/ishtp/client.c: In function 'recv_ishtp_cl_msg_dma':
drivers/hid/intel-ish-hid/ishtp/client.c:1049:3: error: 'cl' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]

The warning only appeared in very few randconfig builds, as the
spinlocks tend to prevent gcc from tracing the variables. I only
saw it in configurations that had neither SMP nor LOCKDEP enabled.

I have not been able to figure out whether this case can happen in
practice, but it's better to be defensive here and handle the case
explicitly by returning from the function.

Embarrassingly, this did not fix the warning in all cases after all, I ran
into the same warning with the patch applied now. The other patches
in the series are probably still good, but they might not apply without
the first, so I'll have to come up with a better fix here and resend the
series.
