Subject: [ 091/175] target: prevent NULL pointer dereference in target_report_luns

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

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

From: =?UTF-8?q?J=C3=B6rn=20Engel?= <joern@...fs.org>

commit 47f1b8803e1e358ebbf4f82bfdb98971c912a2c3 upstream.

transport_kmap_data_sg can return NULL.  I never saw this trigger, but
returning -ENOMEM seems better than a crash.  Also removes a pointless
case while at it.
