Subject: [PATCH v2] b43legacy: Add checking for null for ssb_get_devtypedata(dev)

Since second call of ssb_get_devtypedata() may fail as well as the
first one, the NULL return value in 'wl' will be later dereferenced in
calls to b43legacy_one_core_attach() and schedule_work().

Instead of merely warning about this failure with
B43legacy_WARN_ON(), properly return with error to avoid any further
NULL pointer dereferences.

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