Subject: [PATCH 4.16 125/272] net: qualcomm: rmnet: check for null ep to avoid null pointer dereference

4.16-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@...onical.com>

[ Upstream commit 0c29ba1b43df1eb7d8beb03fc929d2dac4c15f7e ]

The call to rmnet_get_endpoint can potentially return NULL so check
for this to avoid any subsequent null pointer dereferences on a NULL
ep.

Detected by CoverityScan, CID#1465385 ("Dereference null return value")

Fixes: 23790ef12082 ("net: qualcomm: rmnet: Allow to configure flags for existing devices")
