[PATCH] net: bridge: fix potential null pointer dereference on return from br_port_get_rtnl()

[Garry McNulty]

br_port_get_rtnl() can return NULL if the network device is not a bridge
port (IFF_BRIDGE_PORT flag not set). br_port_slave_changelink() and
br_port_fill_slave_info() callbacks dereference this pointer without
checking. Currently this is not a problem because slave devices always
set this flag. Add null check in case these conditions ever change.
