Subject: [PATCH][next] can: etas_es58x: Fix potential null pointer dereference on pointer cf

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

The pointer cf is being null checked earlier in the code, however the
update of the rx_bytes statistics is dereferencing cf without null
checking cf.  Fix this by moving the statement into the following code
block that has a null cf check.

Addresses-Coverity: ("Dereference after null check")
Fixes: 8537257874e9 ("can: etas_es58x: add core support for ETAS ES58X CAN USB interfaces")
