dev_get_by_index is being called in addr_resolve
function which returns NULL and NULL pointer access
leads to kernel crash.
Following call trace is observed while running
rdma_lat test application

The below patch adds the missing NULL pointer check
returned by dev_get_by_index before accessing the netdev to
avoid kernel crash.
We observed the below crash when we try to do the below test.
