drivers/message/fusion/mptscsih.c: inconsequent NULL checking

[Adrian Bunk]

The Coverity checker spotted the following inconsequent NULL checking in 
drivers/message/fusion/mptscsih.c:

<--  snip  -->

...
int
mptscsih_qcmd(struct scsi_cmnd *SCpnt, void (*done)(struct scsi_cmnd *))
{
...
        if (vdev
            && (vdev->vtarget->tflags & MPT_TARGET_FLAGS_Q_YES)
            && (SCpnt->device->tagged_supported)) { 
                scsictl = scsidir | MPI_SCSIIO_CONTROL_SIMPLEQ;
        } else {
                scsictl = scsidir | MPI_SCSIIO_CONTROL_UNTAGGED; 
        }
 
        /* Use the above information to set up the message frame
         */
        pScsiReq->TargetID = (u8) vdev->vtarget->id;
...

<--  snip  -->

vdev is first checked but later dereferenced unconditionally.

        of the darkness. There had been need of rain for many days.
       "Only a promise," Lao Er said.
