Subject: [patch -mainline] qlcnic: potential NULL dereference in
 qlcnic_83xx_get_minidump_template()

If qlcnic_fw_cmd_get_minidump_temp() fails then "fw_dump->tmpl_hdr" is
NULL or possibly freed.  It can lead to an oops later.

Fixes: d01a6d3c8ae1 ('qlcnic: Add support to enable capability to extend minidump for iSCSI')
