[PATCH] scsi: lpfc: don't dereference localport before it has been null checked

From: Colin King
Date: Thu Dec 21 2017 - 19:29:00 EST


From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

localport is being dereferenced to assign lport and then immediately
afterwards localport is being sanity checked to see if it is null.
Fix this by only dereferencing localport until after it has been
null checked.

Detected by CoverityScan, CID#1463038 ("Dereference before null check")

Fixes: 3a8cefbfc5ee ("scsi: lpfc: Beef up stat counters for debug")
