From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Currently dev is dereferenced by the call dev_net(dev) before dev is null
checked. Fix this by null checking dev before the potential null
pointer dereference.
Detected by CoverityScan, CID#1462955 ("Dereference before null check")
Fixes: 23790ef12082 ("net: qualcomm: rmnet: Allow to configure flags for existing devices")
