Subject: [PATCH] brcmfmac: only lock and unlock fws if fws is not null

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

There is a null ptr check for fws to set bcmc_credit_check, however,
there a lock and unlock on fws should only performed if fwts is
also not null to also avoid a potential null pointer deference.
