Subject: [PATCH 3/4] staging/lustre/ptlrpc: Fix potential NULL pointer dereference

From: Oleg Drokin <green@...uxhacker.ru>

In lov_unpackmd() there's this strange bit of code where we first try
to look inside of lmm striping pattern for it's type, and then
we check if the pattern is NULL which cannot be right.
Move the check under if (lmm) branch so that it's safe.

Found by Coverity version 6.6.1
