Subject: [ 17/73] [SCSI] Fix NULL dereferences in scsi_cmd_to_driver

3.2-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Mark Rustad <mark.d.rustad@...el.com>

commit 222a806af830fda34ad1f6bc991cd226916de060 upstream.

Avoid crashing if the private_data pointer happens to be NULL. This has
been seen sometimes when a host reset happens, notably when there are
many LUNs:

host3: Assigned Port ID 0c1601
scsi host3: libfc: Host reset succeeded on port (0c1601)
BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000350
