[PATCH] netvsc: fix dereference before null check errors

2017-03-25 Thread Colin King

From: Colin Ian King ndev is being checked to see if it is a null pointer however before the null check ndev is being dereferenced; hence there is a potential null pointer dereference bug that needs fixing. Fix this by only dereferencing ndev after the null check.
