Before committing 79597c8bf64c, *rac97 always be NULL if there is
an error. When error happens, make sure *rac97 is NULL is safer.
For examble, in snd_vortex_mixer():
err = snd_ac97_mixer(pbus, &ac97, &vortex->codec);
vortex->isquad = ((vortex->codec == NULL) ?
0 : (vortex->codec->ext_id&0x80));
If error happened but vortex->codec isn't NULL, this may cause some
problems.
Move the judgement order to be clearer and better.
