Subject: [PATCH] staging: rtl8723bs: Check for NULL header value

When building with -Warray-bounds, the following warning is emitted:

                 from ./arch/x86/include/asm/page_32.h:22,

In function 'memcpy',
    inlined from 'wlanhdr_to_ethhdr' at drivers/staging/rtl8723bs/core/rtw_recv.c:1554:2:

      |                                 ^

This is because the compiler sees it is possible for "ptr" to be a NULL
value, and concludes that it has zero size and attempts to copy to it
would overflow. Instead, detect the NULL return and error out early.
