Subject: [patch]iwch_cm: fix possible null pointer

This patch fixes bugzilla #9583:
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9583

The patch adds NULL check for 'ep->com.cm_id' before derefenrence, since
'ep->com.cm_id' is testing for NULL before. But it depends on the relationship
between 'status' and 'ep->com.cm_id'.
