While processing TPC stats received from firmware, there are chances that
the tpc_stats might not be filled and the data is not available. This can
happen under two scenarios. First, when firmware sends a non-zero event
count before event count 0. When this happens, tpc_stats will be checked
for data before memory allocation and the tpc_stats will be unavailable.
Second, when memory allocation failed when event count received is 0 and
the firmware still sends a non-zero event. When this happens, memory will
not be allocated for tpc_stats though event count is 0, so when non-zero
event count is received, tpc_stats will be empty. There are checks to
validate if tpc_stats variable is filled that are used in two subsequent
places, but these are placed after tpc_stats is dereference without
checking if it is NULL or has valid data.

Fix this by removing the mentioned checks and adding a NULL check after
assigning tpc_stats to check if it is valid.
