Subject: [PATCH] scsi: Fix more error handling in SCSI_IOCTL_SEND_COMMAND

Fix an error path in SCSI_IOCTL_SEND_COMMAND that calls
blk_put_request(rq) on an invalid IS_ERR(rq) pointer.

Fixes: a492f075450f ("block,scsi: fixup blk_get_request dead queue scenarios")
Signed-off-by: Tony Battersby <tonyb@...ernetics.com>

(resending, since no one picked it up last time)

For inclusion in 3.18 only.  This fixes a problem
introduced in 3.18.

Note: this fixes a *different* problem from Jan Kara's
patch with a similar subject line, which has already
been applied to mainline.
