[PATCH] scsi/sym53c8xx_2: Fix NULL pointer dereference in slave_destroy

[psomas@xxxxxxxxxx]

From: Stratos Psomadakis <psomas@xxxxxxxxxx>

sym53c8xx_slave_destroy unconditionally assumes that sym53c8xx_slave_alloc has
succesesfully allocated a sym_lcb. This can lead to a NULL pointer dereference
(exposed by commit 4e6c82b).
