[PATCH] scsi: lpfc: Fix potential NULL pointer dereference in lpfc_nvme_fcp_io_submit

["Gustavo A. R. Silva" <garsilva@embeddedor.com>]

pnvme_lport is being dereferenced before it is null checked, hence there
is a potential null pointer dereference.

Fix this by null checking pnvme_lport before it is dereferenced.

Addresses-Coverity-ID: 1423709 ("Dereference before null check")
Fixes: b7672ae681f8 ("scsi: lpfc: Fix crash in lpfc_nvme_fcp_io_submit during LIP")

Also, I wonder if the right pointer to check at line:

if (!pnvme_rport || !freqpriv) {

is pnvme_fcreq instead of freqpriv
