[PATCH 03/20] scsi: lpfc: don't dereference dma_buf->iocbq before null check

[jsmart2021 at gmail.com]

From: James Smart <jsmart2021 at gmail.com>

From: Colin Ian King <colin.king at canonical.com>

dma_buf->iocbq is being dereferenced immediately before it is
being null checked, so we have a potential null pointer dereference
bug.  Fix this by only dereferencing it only once we have passed
a null check on the pointer.

Detected by CoverityScan, CID#1411652 ("Dereference before null check")
