The mptscsih_remove() function triggers a kernel oops if the Scsi_Host
pointer (ioc->sh) is NULL, as can be seen in this syslog:
ioc0: LSI53C1030 B2: Capabilities={Initiator,Target}
Begin: Waiting for root file system ...
scsi host2: error handler thread failed to spawn, error = -4
mptspi: ioc0: WARNING - Unable to register controller with SCSI subsystem
Backtrace:

This patch adds the necessary NULL-pointer checks. Successfully tested on
a HP C8000 parisc workstation with buggy SCSI drives.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
