crypto: qat - fix error path in add_update_sla()
The input argument `sla_in` is a pointer to a structure that contains the parameters of the SLA which is being added or updated. If this pointer is NULL, the function should return an error as the data required for the algorithm is not available. By mistake, the logic jumps to the error path which dereferences the pointer. This results in a warnings reported by the static analyzer Smatch when executed without a database: drivers/crypto/intel/qat/qat_common/adf_rl.c:871 add_update_sla() error: we previously assumed 'sla_in' could be null (see line 812) This issue was not found in internal testing as the pointer cannot be NULL. The function add_update_sla() is only called (indirectly) by the rate limiting sysfs interface implementation in adf_sysfs_rl.c which ensures that the data structure is allocated and valid. This is also proven by the fact that Smatch executed with a database does not report such error. Fix it by returning with error if the pointer `sla_in` is NULL.
