Subject: [PATCH 4/4] HID: hid-uclogic-params: Invalid parameter check in uclogic_params_frame_init_v1_buttonpad

The function performs a check on the hdev input parameters, however, it
is used before the check.

Initialize the udev variable after the sanity check to avoid a
possible NULL pointer dereference.

Fixes: 9614219e9310e ("HID: uclogic: Extract tablet parameter discovery into a module")
Addresses-Coverity-ID: 1443763 ("Null pointer dereference")
