Since papr_scm_ndctl() can be called from outside papr_scm, its
exposed to the possibility of receiving NULL as value of 'cmd_rc'
argument. This patch updates papr_scm_ndctl() to protect against such
possibility by assigning it pointer to a local variable in case cmd_rc
== NULL.
Finally the patch also updates the 'default' clause of the switch-case
block removing a 'return' statement thereby ensuring that value of
'cmd_rc' is always logged when papr_scm_ndctl() returns.
