Subject: [PATCH] lpfc: fix oops/BUG in lpfc_sli_ringtxcmpl_put()

The BUG_ON() recently introduced in lpfc_sli_ringtxcmpl_put()
is hit in the lpfc_els_abort() > lpfc_sli_issue_abort_iotag()
 > lpfc_sli_abort_iotag_issue() function path [similar names],
due to 'piocb->vport == NULL':

	BUG_ON(!piocb || !piocb->vport);

This happens because lpfc_sli_abort_iotag_issue() doesn't set
the 'abtsiocbp->vport' pointer -- but this is not the problem.

Previously, lpfc_sli_ringtxcmpl_put() accessed 'piocb->vport'
only if 'piocb->iocb.ulpCommand' is neither CMD_ABORT_XRI_CN
nor CMD_CLOSE_XRI_CN, which are the only possible values for
lpfc_sli_abort_iotag_issue():

    lpfc_sli_ringtxcmpl_put():

        if ((unlikely(pring->ringno == LPFC_ELS_RING)) &&
           (piocb->iocb.ulpCommand != CMD_ABORT_XRI_CN) &&
           (piocb->iocb.ulpCommand != CMD_CLOSE_XRI_CN) &&
            (!(piocb->vport->load_flag & FC_UNLOADING)))

    lpfc_sli_abort_iotag_issue():

        if (phba->link_state >= LPFC_LINK_UP)
                iabt->ulpCommand = CMD_ABORT_XRI_CN;
        else
                iabt->ulpCommand = CMD_CLOSE_XRI_CN;

So, this function path would not have hit this possible NULL
pointer dereference before.

In order to fix this regression, move the second part of the
BUG_ON() check prior to the pointer dereference that it does
check for.

For reference, this is the stack trace observed. The problem
happened because an unsolicited event was received - a PLOGI
was received after our PLOGI was issued but not yet complete,
so the discovery state machine goes on to sw-abort our PLOGI.
