At first glance, this new test isn't necessary. storvsc_queuecommand() gets
called from scsi_dispatch_cmd(), where just before the queuecommand function
is called, the cmd_len field is checked against the maximum command length
defined for the SCSI controller. In the case of storvsc, that maximum command
length is STORVSC_MAX_CMD_LEN as set in storvsc_probe(). There's a comment
in scsi_dispatch_cmd() that covers this exact case.

You are correct that we need to make sure there's no buffer overflow. Are
you seeing any other path where storvsc_queuecommand() could be called
without the cmd_len being checked?
