In function nixge_recv() dereference of NULL pointer priv->rx_bd_v is
possible for the case of its allocation failure in netdev_priv(ndev).
please be more precise about the case, rx_bd_v is not set during
netdev(w/priv) allocation
the embedded priv part is allocated together with the netdev, in the
.probe()
Move while() loop with priv->rx_bd_v dereference under the check for
its validity.
this style has some benefits, but in the kernel we prefer the early
return:
if (!priv->rx_bd_v)
return 0;
instead of touching a whole function
