Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 4.19 026/191] powerpc/iommu: Avoid derefence before pointer check

From: Breno Leitao <leitao@...ian.org>

[ Upstream commit 984ecdd68de0fa1f63ce205d6c19ef5a7bc67b40 ]

The tbl pointer is being derefenced by IOMMU_PAGE_SIZE prior the check
if it is not NULL.

Just moving the dereference code to after the check, where there will
be guarantee that 'tbl' will not be NULL.
