Quinn Tran fc1ffd6cb3 qla2xxx: Fix crash due to null pointer access
During code inspection, while investigating following stack trace
seen on one of the test setup, we found out there was possibility
of memory leak becuase driver was not unwinding the stack properly.

This issue has not been reproduced in a test environment or on a
customer setup.

Here's stack trace that was seen.

README

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
