Subject: [PATCH] liquidio: Fix potential null pointer dereference

In lio_vf_rep_copy_packet() pg_info->page is compared to a NULL value,
but then it is unconditionally passed to skb_add_rx_frag() which could
lead to null pointer dereference.
Fix this bug by moving skb_add_rx_frag() into conditional scope.

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

Fixes: 1f233f327913 (liquidio: switchdev support for LiquidIO NIC)
