Fix crash when disassembling invalid range on powerpc vle
I got a report of a gdb crash for vle and further investigation showed an attempt to disassemble an invalid memory range. I tracked the crash down to the code in get_powerpc_dialect, where we fail to make sure we have a valid section pointer before dereferencing it. There is no such problem for rs6000-based disassembling. opcodes/ChangeLog: 2016-12-08 Luis Machado <lgustavo@codesourcery.com> * ppc-dis.c (get_powerpc_dialect): Check NULL info->section.
