[PATCH][next] mqprio: fix potential null pointer dereference on opt

[Colin King]

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

The pointer opt has a null check however before for this check opt is
dereferenced when len is initialized, hence we potentially have a null
pointer deference on opt.  Avoid this by checking for a null opt before
dereferencing it.

Detected by CoverityScan, CID#1458234 ("Dereference before null check")

Fixes: 4e8b86c06269 ("mqprio: Introduce new hardware offload mode and shaper in 
mqprio")
