[PATCH 2/3] netfilter: potential null derefence.

[santosh nayak]

From: Santosh Nayak <santoshprasadnayak@xxxxxxxxx>

I am getting following error.
" net/bridge/netfilter/ebtables.c:269 ebt_do_table()
  error: potential null derefence 'cs'"

    i = cs[sp].n;  // If cs == Null then this will cause problem.
