[PATCH 5/5] staging/otus: Move a dereference below a NULL test

[Julia Lawall]

From: Julia Lawall <julia@xxxxxxx>

If the NULL test is necessary, then the dereference should be moved below
the NULL test.

The semantic patch that makes this change is as follows:
(http://www.emn.fr/x-info/coccinelle/)

// <smpl>
@@
type T;
expression E;
identifier i,fld;
statement S;
@@

- T i = E->fld;
+ T i;
  ... when != E
      when != i
  if (E == NULL) S
+ i = E->fld;
// </smpl>
