Subject: scsi: qla2xxx: Avoid that issuing a LIP triggers a kernel crash

From: Mauricio Faria de Oliveira <mauricfo@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

commit 2780f3c8f0233de90b6b47a23fc422b7780c5436 upstream.

Avoid that issuing a LIP as follows:

  find /sys -name 'issue_lip'|while read f; do echo 1 > $f; done

triggers the following:

BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at (null)
