Subject: [net-next 02/11] fm10k: reduce scope of *p local variable

From: Jacob Keller <jacob.e.keller@...el.com>

Reduce the scope of the char *p local variable to only the block where
it is used.

This was detected by cppcheck and resolves the following style warning
produced by that tool:

[fm10k_ethtool.c:229]: (style) The scope of the variable 'p' can be
reduced.
