[ Upstream commit ee6581ceba7f8314b81b2f2a81f1cf3f67c679e2 ]

Incremental patch to fix the unchecked dereference in acpi_nfit_ctl.
Reported by Dan Carpenter:

"acpi/nfit: fix cmd_rc for acpi_nfit_ctl to
always return a value" from Jun 28, 2018, leads to the following
Smatch complaint:

    drivers/acpi/nfit/core.c:578 acpi_nfit_ctl()
     warn: variable dereferenced before check 'cmd_rc' (see line 411)
