Put the check for gap before its reference to avoid Smatch static check warnings. This is not a bug, it's just a validation program. Even with this change, Smatch may still generate warnings because MT_BUG_ON() doesn't necessarily stop the program. It may require fixing Smatch itself to avoid these warnings.
