mptfusion: tweak null pointer checks
Fixes the following smatch warnings: drivers/message/fusion/mptbase.c:652 mptbase_reply() warn: variable dereferenced before check 'reply' (see line 639) [JL: No-brainer, the enclosing switch statement dereferences reply, so we can't get here unless reply is valid.] drivers/message/fusion/mptsas.c:1255 mptsas_taskmgmt_complete() error: we previously assumed 'pScsiTmReply' could be null (see line 1227) [HCH: Reading the code in mptsas_taskmgmt_complete it's pretty obvious that it can't do anything useful if mr/pScsiTmReply are NULL, so I suspect it would be best to just return at the beginning of the function. I'd love to understand if it actually could ever be zero, which I doubt. Maybe the LSI people can shed some light on that?] drivers/message/fusion/mptsas.c:3888 mptsas_not_responding_devices() error: we previously assumed 'port_info->phy_info' could be null (see line 3875) [HCH: It's pretty obvious from reading mptsas_sas_io_unit_pg0 that we never register a port_info with a NULL phy_info in the lists, so all NULL checks on it could be deleted.] drivers/message/fusion/mptscsih.c:1284 mptscsih_info() error: we previously assumed 'h' could be null (see line 1274) [HCH: shost_priv can't return NULL, so the if (h) should be removed.] drivers/message/fusion/mptscsih.c:1388 mptscsih_qcmd() error: we previously assumed 'vdevice' could be null (see line 1373) [HCH: vdevice can't ever be NULL here, it's allocated in ->slave_alloc and thus guaranteed to be around when ->queuecommand is called.] Signed-off-by: Joe Lawrence <joe.lawrence@stratus.com> Acked-by: Sreekanth Reddy <Sreekanth.Reddy@avagotech.com> Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de>
