coresight: tmc: Smatch: Fix potential NULL pointer dereference
Based on the following report from Smatch, fix the potential
NULL pointer dereference check.
The patch 743256e214e8: "coresight: tmc: Clean up device specific
data" from May 22, 2019, leads to the following Smatch complaint:
drivers/hwtracing/coresight/coresight-tmc-etr.c:625 tmc_etr_free_flat_buf()
warn: variable dereferenced before check 'flat_buf' (see line 623)
drivers/hwtracing/coresight/coresight-tmc-etr.c
622 struct etr_flat_buf *flat_buf = etr_buf->private;
623 struct device *real_dev = flat_buf->dev->parent;
^^^^^^^^^^
The patch introduces a new NULL check
624
625 if (flat_buf && flat_buf->daddr)
^^^^^^^^
but the existing code assumed it can be NULL.
626 dma_free_coherent(real_dev, flat_buf->size,
627 flat_buf->vaddr, flat_buf->daddr);
