From: Cengiz Can <cengiz@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 0398ba9e5a4b5675aa571e0445689d3c2e499c2d ] `tipc_node_apply_property` does a null check on a `tipc_link_entry` pointer but also accesses the same pointer out of the null check block. This triggers a warning on Coverity Static Analyzer because we're implying that `e->link` can BE null. Move "Update MTU for node link entry" line into if block to make sure that we're not in a state that `e->link` is null. Signed-off-by: Cengiz Can <cengiz@xxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: David S.
