From: "Gustavo A. R. Silva" <garsilva@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 62a277d43d47e74972de44d33bd3763e31992414 ] _xt_ is being dereferenced before it is null checked, hence there is a potential null pointer dereference. Fix this by moving the pointer dereference after _xt_ has been null checked. This issue was detected with the help of Coccinelle. Fixes: 4483320e241c ("dmaengine: Use Pointer xt after NULL check.")
