From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Currently there is a null check on the pointer ndlp that exits via
error path issue_ct_rsp_exit followed by another null check on the
same pointer that is almost identical to the previous null check
stanza and yet can never can be reached because the previous check
exited via issue_ct_rsp_exit. This is deadcode and can be removed.
Addresses-Coverity: ("Logically dead code")
