Commands like nvme list & list-subsys currently segfault for --help or any invalid command option as shown below:
nvme list -h
Usage: nvme list [OPTIONS]
Retrieve basic information for all NVMe namespaces
Options:
[ --verbose, -v ] --- output verbosity
[ --output-format=, -o ] --- format: normal|json|binary
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
This is due to an invalid dereferencing of the nvme_root_t object in nvme_free_tree(). Fix this by checking whether this object is valid before dereferencing and freeing it. And while we are it, ensure r->options is also valid before freeing it.
