re: net: mvpp2: fix missing DMA region unmap in egress processing

Hello Marcin Wojtas,

The patch e864b4c7b184: "net: mvpp2: fix missing DMA region unmap in
egress processing" from Dec 3, 2015, leads to the following static
checker warning:

	drivers/net/ethernet/marvell/mvpp2.c:4414 mvpp2_txq_bufs_free()
	warn: variable dereferenced before check 'skb' (see line 4412)

Dereference inside function.

                            ^^^^^
Check too late.  There is no way that patch can be fix a bug, the best
case is that it does nothing or maybe it adds an oops...

  4415                          continue;
  4416                  dev_kfree_skb_any(skb);
  4417          }
  4418  }
