Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 4.18 40/56] i40e: fix condition of WARN_ONCE for stat
 strings

From: Jacob Keller <jacob.e.keller@...el.com>

[ Upstream commit 07f3701387dcab3a4fb0166098fb2754a1b927e1 ]

Commit 9b10df596bd4 ("i40e: use WARN_ONCE to replace the commented
BUG_ON size check") introduced a warning check to make sure
that the size of the stat strings was always the expected value. This
code accidentally inverted the check of the data pointer. Fix this so
that we accurately count the size of the stats we copied in.

This fixes an erroneous WARN kernel splat that occurs when requesting
ethtool statistics.
