Subject: [PATCH v3 1/1] net/mlx5: Fix null-ptr-deref in mlx5_create_{inner_,}ttc_table()

Add NULL check for mlx5_get_flow_namespace() returns in
mlx5_create_inner_ttc_table() and mlx5_create_ttc_table() to prevent
NULL pointer dereference.

Fixes: 137f3d50ad2a ("net/mlx5: Support matching on l4_type for ttc_table")
Signed-off-by: Henry Martin <bsdhenrymartin@...il.com>

V2 -> V3: No functional changes, just gathering the patches in a series.
V1 -> V2: Add a empty line after the return statement.
