scsi: libiscsi: fix possible NULL pointer dereference in case of TMF



In iscsi_check_tmf_restrictions() task->hdr is dereferenced to print the
opcode, it is possible that task->hdr is NULL.

There are two cases based on opcode argument:

1. ISCSI_OP_SCSI_CMD - In this case alloc_pdu() is called
after iscsi_check_tmf_restrictions()

iscsi_prep_scsi_cmd_pdu() -> iscsi_check_tmf_restrictions() -> alloc_pdu().

Transport drivers allocate memory for iSCSI hdr in alloc_pdu() and assign
it to task->hdr. In case of TMF task->hdr will be NULL resulting in NULL
pointer dereference.

2. ISCSI_OP_SCSI_DATA_OUT - In this case transport driver can free the
memory for iSCSI hdr after transmitting the pdu so task->hdr can be NULL or
invalid.

This patch fixes this issue by removing task->hdr->opcode from the printk
statement.
