Subject: [214/264] [SCSI] scsi_dh: check queuedata pointer before proceeding further

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

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

From: "Moger, Babu" <Babu.Moger@...app.com>

commit a18a920c70d48a8e4a2b750d8a183b3c1a4be514 upstream.

This patch validates sdev pointer in scsi_dh_activate before proceeding further.

Without this check we might see the panic as below. I have seen this
panic multiple times..
