Subject: [PATCH net v2 5/7] octeon_ep_vf: Fix null dereferences to IQ/OQ pointers

During unload, sometimes race scenarios are seen wherein
the get stats callback proceeds to retrieve the IQ/OQ stats,
but by then the IQ/OQ might have been already freed.

Protect against such conditions by defensively checking if
the IQ/OQ pointers are null before dereference.
