This check is pretty pedantic. Seeing as you are directly referencing the scsi
sub-crqs. The protocol field exists so we can pass the sub-crqs blindly and the
code once NVMf comes along can determine the protocol.

Also, if somehow this was ever possibly the case you would leak the event
structure. I think we can drop the check all together.
