scsi: remove superfluous NULL pointer check from scsi_kill_request()

Dan's list included:

drivers/scsi/scsi_lib.c +1365 scsi_kill_request(9) warning: variable derefenced in initializer 'cmd'
drivers/scsi/scsi_lib.c +1365 scsi_kill_request(9) warning: variable derefenced before check 'cmd'

We dereference cmd (and possible OOPS if cmd == NULL) before starting the
request so just remove the superfluous debugging code altogether.

[ bart: the potential NULL pointer dereference was finally fixed in
  (much later than mine) commit 03b1470 but my patch is still valid ]
