[net-next v2 09/10] i40evf: dereference VSI after VSI has been null checked

[Jeff Kirsher]

From: Colin Ian King <colin.k...@canonical.com>

VSI is being dereferenced before the VSI null check; if VSI is
null we end up with a null pointer dereference.  Fix this by
performing VSI deference after the VSI null check.  Also remove
the need for using adapter by using vsi->back->cinst.
