Subject: [PATCH net] octeontx2-af: Check return value of nix_get_nixlf before using nixlf

If a NIXLF is not attached to a PF/VF device then
nix_get_nixlf function fails and returns proper error
code. But npc_get_default_entry_action does not check it
and uses garbage value in subsequent calls. Fix this
by cheking the return value of nix_get_nixlf.

Fixes: 967db3529eca ("octeontx2-af: add support for multicast/promisc packet replication feature")

You need to run the patch thru scripts/get_maintainer,
here you missed CCing Naveen, who authored 967db3529eca.
Also [email protected] and [email protected]
LMK if these people are no longer at marvell, I can add their
addresses to our ignore list.

Same goes for the pauseparam patch, you'll need to repost the two.
