This patch fixes regression added by commit d74595278f4ab
("scsi: qla2xxx: Add multiple queue pair functionality.").
When driver is not able to get reqeusted IRQs from the system, driver will
attempt tp clean up memory before failing hardware probe. During this cleanup,
driver assigns NULL value to the pointer which has not been allocated by
driver yet. This results in a NULL pointer access.
Log file will show following message and stack trace
qla2xxx [0000:a3:00.1]-00c7:21: MSI-X: Failed to enable support, giving up -- 32/-1.
qla2xxx [0000:a3:00.1]-0037:21: Falling back-to MSI mode --1.
qla2xxx [0000:a3:00.1]-003a:21: Failed to reserve interrupt 821 already in use.

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.
