Subject: [PATCH] scsi: megaraid: Fix null dereference

When cmdid == CMDID_INT_CMDS, the 'mbox' pointer is NULL but is
dereferenced below.

Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.

Have you actually seen this and if so which firmware? I thought
megaraid internal commands only ever returned success or fail (0 or 1)
meaning they can never get into the sense processing case that is the
only consumer of the mbox.

No, I haven't seen this. A null dereference can be if the 'status'  is
0x02. But if 'status' cannot be equal to 0x02, assignment isn't required.
