Mmmmm, I seem to remember this code being some manner of bugfix when
these two NULL checks for IS_TYPE_VALUE_LIST() type login parameters
where originally added into iscsi-target code (circa 2004)..

Looking at iscsi_check_valuelist_for_support() now in modern usage I
think it's fine to go ahead and drop these checks..

<nod>, looks harmless to drop as well.

Applied to lio-core, and queuing into for-next.

Thanks Dan!
