In function lpfc_xcvr_data_show, the memory allocation with kmalloc might
fail, thereby making rdp_context a null pointer. In the following context
and functions that use this pointer, there are dereferencing operations,
leading to null pointer dereference.
To fix this issue, a null pointer check should be added. If it is null,
just jump to 'out_free_rdp'.

V2:
* In patch V2, we have removed the unnecessary 'out of memory' message.
Thank Bart Van Assche for helpful advice.
