Subject: [PATCH] devlink: add NULL check in devlink_dpipe_entry_clear

This patch adds a NULL check for the pointer 'entry' at the entry
point of the function devlink_pipe_entry_clear. If the passed
'entry' is NULL, the function returns immediately, avoiding subsequent
dereferencing of a NULL pointer and thus preventing potential kernel
crahses or segmentation faults.
