Currently the assignment of ctx dereferences pointer 'record' before
the pointer has been null checked. Fix this by only making this
dereference after it has been null checked close to the point ctx
is to be used.
Addresses-Coverity: ("Dereference before null check")
Fixes: bb4ccd1e6f56 ("pstore/zone,blk: Add ftrace frontend support")
