[lvc-project] [PATCH v2] i40e: Add checking for null for nlmsg_find_attr()

[Natalia Petrova]

The result of nlmsg_find_attr() 'br_spec' is dereferenced in
nla_for_each_nested(), but it can take null value in nla_find() function,
which will result in an error.

Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.

v2: The remark about the error code by Simon Horman <simon.horman at corigine.com> 
was taken into account; return value -ENOENT was changed to -EINVAL.
