From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Currently if the stat type is invalid then data[i] is being set
either by dereferencing a null pointer p, or it is reading from
an incorrect previous location if we had a valid stat type
previously. Fix this by nullify pointer p if a stat type is
invalid and only setting data if p is not null.
Detected by CoverityScan, CID#113385 ("Explicit null dereferenced")
