Subject: [PATCH 20/25] net: mvpp2: Adjust a null pointer check in
 mvpp2_egress_enable()

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@...rs.sourceforge.net>

The script "checkpatch.pl" pointed information out like the following.

Comparison to NULL could be written "txq->descs".

Thus fix the affected source code place.
