Subject: [PATCH 4.17 020/101] net/mlx5e: Dont attempt to dereference the ppriv struct if not being eswitch manager

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

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

From: Or Gerlitz <ogerlitz@...lanox.com>

[ Upstream commit 8ffd569aaa818f2624ca821d9a246342fa8b8c50 ]

The check for cpu hit statistics was not returning immediate false for
any non vport rep netdev and hence we crashed (say on mlx5 probed VFs) if
user-space tool was calling into any possible netdev in the system.

Fix that by doing a proper check before dereferencing.
