Subject: [PATCH][net-next] hinic: fix dereference of pointer hwdev before it is null checked

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

Currently pointer hwdev is dereferenced when assigning hwif before
hwdev is null checked.  Fix this by only derefencing hwdev after the
null check.

Addresses-Coverity: ("Dereference before null check")
Fixes: 4fdc51bb4e92 ("hinic: add support for rss parameters with ethtool")
