If anyone has any objections, please let us know. ------------------ commit 03b147083a2f9a2a3fbbd2505fa88ffa3c6ab194 upstream. Stanse found a potential NULL dereference in scsi_kill_request. Instead of triggering BUG() in 'if (unlikely(cmd == NULL))' branch, the kernel will Oops earlier on cmd dereference. Move the dereferences after the if.
