The problem here is that if the ioc faults too early in the bring up sequence (as it usually does for an irq routing problem), ioc_reset gets called before the scsi host is even allocated. This causes an oops when it later schedules a renegotiation. Fix this by checking ioc->sh before trying to renegotiate.
