[PATCH] staging: line6: toneport.c: Fix for possible null pointer dereference

[Rickard Strandqvist <rickard_strandqvist@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The NULL check was done to late, and there it was a risk
of a possible null pointer dereference.

This was partially found by using a static code analysis program called cppcheck.
