Subject: [net-next 5/7] i40e: check that pointer VSI is not null before dereferencing it

From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@...onical.com>

Function i40e_find_vsi_from_id can potentially return null, hence
VSI may be null, so defensively check it is non-null before
dereferencing it to check the seid.
