The recent commit closing the race window in device teardown:

commit 86cbfb5607d4b81b1a993ff689bbd2addd5d3a9b

    [SCSI] put stricter guards on queue dead checks

is causing a potential NULL deref in scsi_run_queue() because the
q->queuedata may already be NULL by the time this function is called.
Since we shouldn't be running a queue that is being torn down, simply
add a NULL check in scsi_run_queue() to forestall this.
