_xt_ is being dereferenced before it is null checked, hence there is a
potential null pointer dereference.
Fix this by moving the pointer dereference after _xt_ has been null
checked.
This issue was detected with the help of Coccinelle.
Fixes: 4483320e241c ("dmaengine: Use Pointer xt after NULL check.")
