Public bug reported:

[Impact]

* When performance testing using Mellanox driver, an early decrement
within an if condition rather than as a result of an if condition is
causing null pointer crashes.

[Fix]

* Clean cherry-pick from upstream
(https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20220503044209.622171-10-sae...@nvidia.com/)

[Test Case]

* Compile test
* Boot test
* Performance test

[Where things could go wrong]

* Regression risk is low, localized fix, purely fixes incorrect logic

** Affects: linux (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: In Progress

** Affects: linux (Ubuntu Jammy)
     Importance: Undecided
