4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
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.")
