[PATCH 1/3] net/mlx5e: Fix possible null pointer dereference

[Alex Dewar]

In mlx5e_tc_unoffload_from_slow_path() a null check is performed for the
variable slow_attr and a warning is issued if it is null. However,
slow_attr is used later on in the function regardless. Fix this by
returning if slow_attr is null.
