Subject: [PATCH] misc: bcm-vk: Fix NULL pointer dereference in case of buffer is not big enough in bcm_vk_read()

In case of entry is found but buffer is not big enough in bcm_vk_read()
found entry pointer remaining unset, but later dereferenced. This will lead
to NULL pointer dereference.
Fix this bug by moving pointer setting and correcting the conditions.

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

Fixes: 88517757a829 ("misc: bcm-vk: replace usage of found with dedicated list iterator variable")
