Please take a look at https://lore.kernel.org/linux-scsi/20210904064534.1919476-1-qiulaibin@xxxxxxxxxx/.
From the replies to that email:

cmd_len should never be 0 now, so I think we can remove it."

Thanks for quick response, but I'm not sure if statement
"cmd_len should never be 0 now" is correct, because the cmd_len is
in fact equal to 0 here and this BUG can be triggered on mainline, 5.14,
and 5.10 stable kernels.
