    net: wangxun: fix kernel panic due to null pointer
    
    [ Upstream commit 8ba2c459668cfe2aaacc5ebcd35b4b9ef8643013 ]
    
    When the device uses a custom subsystem vendor ID, the function
    wx_sw_init() returns before the memory of 'wx->mac_table' is allocated.
    The null pointer will causes the kernel panic.
