This patch addresses a potential NULL pointer dereference issue in the
receive_packet() function of the dl2k network driver. Previously, there was
a possibility of dereferencing a NULL pointer when the pointer 'skb'
returned from the function 'netdev_alloc_skb_ip_align()' was not checked
before being used. To resolve this issue, the patch introduces a check to
ensure that 'skb' is not NULL before dereferencing it.
