Subject: [PATCH][next] scsi: lpfc: fix pointer defereference before it is null checked issue

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

There is a null check on pointer lpfc_cmd after the pointer has been
dereferenced when pointers rdata and ndlp are initialized at the start
of the function. Fix this by only assigning rdata and ndlp after the
pointer lpfc_cmd has been null checked.

Addresses-Coverity: ("Dereference before null check")
Fixes: 96e209be6ecb ("scsi: lpfc: Convert SCSI I/O completions to SLI-3 and SLI-4 handlers")
