Subject: [PATCH] cxgb4: do conversion after string check

Static code analyzer complains to uncheck return value.
Indeed, the return value of kstrtouint "must be checked"
as the comment says.
Moreover, it looks like the string conversion  should be
after "end of string" or "new line" check.
This patch fixes these issues.
