rmi_dev is currently being dereferenced before it null checked, so we
have a potential null pointer dereference issue with this.  Fix this
by dereferencing rmi_dev after a null check has been performed.

Fixes CoverityScan CID 1391218 ("Dereference before null check")

I'd rather we removed the NULL check instead. As far as I can see it
can't even be NULL.

Thanks.

Ignore this patch, correct fix just sent.
