Subject: [PATCH] i40e: Add checking for null for nlmsg_find_attr()

The result of nlmsg_find_attr() 'br_spec' is dereferenced in
nla_for_each_nested, but it can take null value in 'nla_find' finction,
which will result in an error.

Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.

Fixes: 51616018dd1b ("i40e: Add support for getlink, setlink ndo ops")
