Subject: [PATCH][next] scsi: cxgb4i: fix dereference of pointer tdata before it is null checked

From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@...onical.com>

Currently pointer tdata is being dereferenced on the initialization of
pointer skb before tdata is null checked. This could lead to a potential
null pointer dereference.  Fix this by dereferencing tdata after tdata
has been null pointer sanity checked.

Addresses-Coverity: ("Dereference before null check")
Fixes: e33c2482289b ("scsi: cxgb4i: Add support for iSCSI segmentation offload")
