Subject: [PATCH 2/2] mmc: cavium: Check pointer before de-reference

Add a pointer check to prevent this smatch warning:

drivers/mmc/host/cavium.c:803 cvm_mmc_request()
	error: we previously assumed 'cmd->data' could be null (see line 782)

This is a theoretical fix because MMC_CMD_ADTC seems to imply
that cmd->data is not null. Nevertheless checking cmd->data
before using it improves readability.
