[SCSI] bnx2i: Fixed kernel panic caused by unprotected task->sc->request deref

During session recovery, the conn_stop call will trigger a flush
to all outstanding SCSI cmds in the xmit queue.  This will set
all outstanding task->sc to NULL prior to the session_teardown
call which frees the task memory.

In the bnx2i SCSI response processing path, only the task was being checked
for NULL under the session lock before the task->sc->request dereferencing.
If there are outstanding SCSI cmd responses pending for process, the
following kernel panic can be exposed where task->sc was found to be NULL.

This patch adds the !task->sc check and also protects the sc dereferencing
under the session lock.
