During a PCI hotplug remove event we could have a NULL pointer dereference on lpfc_sli_abort_iocb(), if pring is NULL. This patch adds a check for this case and is able to circumvent the failure and continue the hotplug remove process with success. This issue was introduced after the driver refactor made on commit 895427bd012c ("scsi: lpfc: NVME Initiator: Base modifications").
