[PATCH] scsi: lpfc: prevent potential null pointer dereference

From: Gustavo A. R. Silva
Date: Tue May 23 2017 - 11:09:43 EST


Null check at line 966: if (ndlp) {, implies that ndlp might be NULL.
Functions lpfc_nlp_set_state() and lpfc_issue_els_prli() dereference
pointer ndlp. Include these function calls inside the IF block that
tests pointer ndlp.
