pFifoHead points to tx_buffer->fifo_head which can never be NULL. We also don't need to check for tx_buffer being NULL instead, since it always points to ->Data of struct vnt_usb_send_context - the pointer to which was checked before calling s_vGenerateTxParameter(). Silences a dereference before NULL check warning reported by the coverity scanner in CID 1127221.
