This patch allows target_sense_desc_format() to be called without a
valid se_device pointer, which can occur during an early exception
ahead of transport_lookup_cmd_lun() setting up se_cmd->se_device.
This addresses a v4.3-rc1 specific NULL pointer dereference
regression introduced by commit 4e4937e8.

Can we be sure that the only case we'll call target_sense_desc_format()
with a NULL se_device will be when returning a CHECK_CONDITION on a
non-existing LUN?
We return the sense format in the D_SENSE of the control modepage
response and if some future bug will happen to call this function with
a NULL se_device we might violate what we reported to the initiator.
Maybe we should enforce this by having transport_lookup_cmd_lun() set
se_cmd->se_device = TARGET_NON_EXISTENT_LUN reserved identifier and
check for that rather then NULL?
Thoughts?
