[SCSI] zfcp: eliminate race between validation and locking
The check of having a valid pointer was performed before the processing was secured by the lock. Between those two steps the pointer can turn invalid. During further processing another value is used (referenced by the pointer described above) as a function pointer which is never verified to be valid either, resulting under some circumstances in an invalid function call. This patch is fixing both issues.
