usbnet: ipheth: fix potential null pointer dereference in ipheth_carrier_set
BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1830176 commit 61c59355 upstream. _dev_ is being dereferenced before it is null checked, hence there is a potential null pointer dereference. Fix this by moving the pointer dereference after _dev_ has been null checked.
