[PATCH] staging: vchiq_arm: check vchiq_instance for NULL before dereferencing

In service_callback(), the vchiq_instance is checked for NULL after
dereferencing it. Switch the order of those operations.
This was reported by https://lore.kernel.org/all/Yqc+Oavmh0zMRVPQ@kili/
I moved the NULL check before the call to rcu_read_lock() since access
to the vchiq_instance is not RCU-protected (the RCU is only used to
access the vchiq_service).
