[ Upstream commit 862aecbd9569e563b979c0e23a908b43cda4b0b9 ]

The error is due to dereference a null pointer in function
reset_one_sub_crq_queue():

if (!scrq) {
netdev_dbg(adapter->netdev,
"Invalid scrq reset. irq (%d) or msgs(%p).\n",
scrq->irq, scrq->msgs);
return -EINVAL;
}

If the expression is true, scrq must be a null pointer and cannot
dereference.

Fixes: 9281cf2d5840 ("ibmvnic: avoid memset null scrq msgs")
