Subject[RFC][PATCH 4/8] Fix a bug in scsi_get_command
Testing this patch series uncovered a small bug in scsi_get_command.  This
patch fixes that bug.

-Matt
scsi_get_command() attempts to write into a structure that may not have been
successfully allocated. Move this write inside the if statement that ensures
we won't panic the kernel with a NULL pointer dereference.
