From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Currently the assignment of cnt dereferences pointer 'record' before
the pointer has been null checked. Fix this by only making this
dereference after it has been null checked close to the point cnt
is to be used.
Addresses-Coverity: ("Dereference before null check")
Fixes: 637ce64e7f57 ("pstore/zone,blk: Add support for pmsg frontend")
