[PATCH 4.4 15/93] i40e: avoid null pointer dereference

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

4.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Heinrich Schuchardt <xypron.glpk@xxxxxx>

commit cd956722167ba4fdba9c1ce3eed251b04ea2e10f upstream.

In function i40e_debug_aq parameter desc is assumed to be
possibly NULL. Do not dereference it before checking the
value.

Fixes: f905dd62be88 ("i40e/i40evf: add max buf len to aq debug print helper")
