The system was under memory stress where driver was not able to allocate an

SRB to carry out error recovery of cable pull. The failure to flush causes

upper layer to start modifying scsi_cmnd. When the system frees up some

memory, the subsequent cable pull trigger another command flush. At this

point the driver access a null pointer when attempting to DMA unmap the

SGL.

Add a check to make sure commands are flush back on session tear down to

prevent the null pointer access.
