Subject: [PATCH] scsi: mptfusion: Fix null pointer dereferences in
 mptscsih_remove()

The mptscsih_remove() function triggers a kernel oops if the
Scsi_Host pointer (ioc->sh) is NULL, as can be seen in this syslog:

 ioc0: LSI53C1030 B2: Capabilities={Initiator,Target}
 Begin: Waiting for root file system ...
 scsi host2: error handler thread failed to spawn, error = -4
 mptspi: ioc0: WARNING - Unable to register controller with SCSI subsystem

  [<000000000007d248>] mptspi_init+0x18c/0x1c4 [mptspi]

This patch adds the necessary NULL-pointer checks.
Successfully tested on a HP C8000 parisc workstation with buggy SCSI drives.
