Hi Vihas,

There's a NULL check on padapter in rtw_recv.c:170 which makes no sense as
rtw_recv.c:152 dereferences it unconditionally and it would have already
crashed at this point.
Fix this by moving the dereference line inside the check.

This expression just an addr calculation, so it does not lead to panic in case of padapter being NULL
