Subject: [PATCH][next] net: hns3: fix dereference of ae_dev before it is null checked

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

Pointer ae_dev is null checked however, prior to that it is dereferenced
when assigned pointer ops. Fix this by assigning pointer ops after ae_dev
has been null checked.

Addresses-Coverity: ("Dereference before null check")
