[PATCH RESEND] qed: Move a variable assignment behind a null pointer check in two functions

[Markus Elfring <Markus.Elfring@web.de>]

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@users.sourceforge.net>
Date: Tue, 11 Apr 2023 19:33:53 +0200

The address of a data structure member was determined before
a corresponding null pointer check in the implementation of
the functions “qed_ll2_rxq_completion” and “qed_ll2_txq_completion”.

Thus avoid the risk for undefined behaviour by moving the assignment
for the variables “p_rx” and “p_tx” behind the null pointer check.

This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.

Fixes: 0a7fb11c23c0 ("qed: Add Light L2 support")
