From: Alok Tiwari <redacted> [ Upstream commit dac7f50a45216d652887fb92d6cd3b7ca7f006ea ] static analyzer detect null pointer dereference case for 'type' function __nft_obj_type_get() can return NULL value which require to handle if type is NULL pointer return -ENOENT. This is a theoretical issue, since an existing object has a type, but better add this failsafe check.
