In case debugfs does not init for some reason (or is disabled
on older kernels) driver does not allocate stats.fw_stats
structure, but tries to clear it later and trips on a NULL
pointer:
Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address
00000000
PC is at __memzero+0x24/0x80

Add a NULL pointer check to fix this.
