Subject: [PATCH v3 8/8] staging: r8188eu: check firmware header existence before access

We should access the fields of fwhdr only if the check for firmware
header existence is true. Move the affected code into the if block
that checks firmware header existence.

v3:
- no real changes,
  just the pr_info() -> pr_info_once() from patch 7/8 is different

v2:
