[PATCH 4.4 74/97] media: c8sectpfe: fix potential NULL pointer dereference in c8sectpfe_timer_interrupt

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

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

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

From: "Gustavo A. R. Silva" <garsilva@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>


[ Upstream commit baed3c4bc4c13de93e0dba0a26d601411ebcb389 ]

_channel_ is being dereferenced before it is null checked, hence there is a
potential null pointer dereference. Fix this by moving the pointer dereference
after _channel_ has been null checked.

This issue was detected with the help of Coccinelle.
