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 return len.

Fixes: 479b0917e447 ("scsi: lpfc: Create a sysfs entry called lpfc_xcvr_data for transceiver info")

V2:
* In patch V2, we have removed the unnecessary 'out of memory' message.
  Thank Bart Van Assche for helpful advice.
V3:
* In patch V3, we return len directly instead of goto out_free_rdp.
  Thanks to Justin Tee for his suuestion.
