_xt_ is being dereferenced before it is null checked, hence there is a potential null pointer dereference. Fix this by moving the pointer dereference after _xt_ has been null checked. This issue was detected with the help of Coccinelle. Fixes: 4483320e241c ("dmaengine: Use Pointer xt after NULL check.") Signed-off-by: Gustavo A. R.
