Subject: [PATCH] liquidio: avoid NULL pointer dereference in lio_vf_rep_copy_packet()

lio_vf_rep_copy_packet() passes pg_info->page to skb_add_rx_frag()
that dereferences it without any check. So, it does not make sense
to call skb_add_rx_frag() when pg_info->page is NULL to avoid an segfault.

Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.

Signed-off-by: Aleksandr Burakov <a.burakov@...alinux.ru>
Fixes: 1f233f327913 ("liquidio: switchdev support for LiquidIO NIC")
