Subject: [PATCH] wil6210: fix potential null dereference of ndev before null check
Git-commit: db5a4d5e1073be452645d7021eeaf807d70325a2
Patch-mainline: v4.18-rc1
References: FATE#326906

The pointer ndev is being dereferenced before it is being null checked,
hence there is a potential null pointer deference. Fix this by only
dereferencing ndev after it has been null checked

Detected by CoverityScan, CID#1467010 ("Dereference before null check")

Fixes: e00243fab84b ("wil6210: infrastructure for multiple virtual interfaces")
