First testing if a pointer is NULL and if it is (or might be), proceeding
with code that dereferences that same pointer is clearly a mistake.
This happens in sound/isa/sb/sb8_midi.c::snd_sb8dsp_midi_interrupt()
The patch below reworks the code so this unfortunate case doesn't happen.
Also remove some blank comments.
Found by the Coverity checker as bug #367
Patch is compile testted only due to lack of hardware.
