We unconditionally execute scsi_eh_get_sense() to make sure all failed commands that should have sense attached, do. However, the routine forgets that some commands, because of the way they fail, will not have any sense code ... we should not bother them with a REQUEST_SENSE command. Fix this by testing to see if we actually got a CHECK_CONDITION return and skip asking for sense if we don't.
