Subject: [PATCH net] macvlan: fix null pointer dereference in macvlan_changelink_sources()

From: Yunjian Wang <wangyunjian@...wei.com>

Currently pointer data is dereferenced when declaring addr before
pointer data is null checked. This could lead to a null pointer
dereference. Fix this by checking if pointer data is null first.
