[PATCH v2 net] octeontx2-pf: fix NULL deref of af_xdp_zc_qidx on rep setup

From: Suman Ghosh <redacted>

af_xdp_zc_qidx tracks receive queues using AF_XDP zero-copy and is
allocated during PF/VF probe. Representors and other non-AF_XDP paths
leave the pointer NULL, but several call sites used test_bit() on it
unconditionally.

Switching to devlink eswitch mode creates representors and runs
otx2_init_hw_resources(), which reaches otx2_pool_aq_init() and oopses
when dereferencing the NULL bitmap. Add NULL checks before every
af_xdp_zc_qidx test_bit() use in the RSS, ethtool, XSK, and pool init
paths.
