Subject: [PATCH 4.9 23/83] e1000: avoid null pointer dereference on invalid stat type

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

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

[ Upstream commit 5983587c8c5ef00d6886477544ad67d495bc5479 ]

Currently if the stat type is invalid then data[i] is being set
either by dereferencing a null pointer p, or it is reading from
an incorrect previous location if we had a valid stat type
previously.  Fix this by skipping over the read of p on an invalid
stat type.

Detected by CoverityScan, CID#113385 ("Explicit null dereferenced")
