[PATCH] net: microchip: sparx5: Fix potential NULL pointer dereference in debugfs

In vcap_debugfs_show_rule_keyset(), the function vcap_keyfields()
returns a NULL pointer upon allocation failure. This can lead to
a NULL pointer dereference in vcap_debugfs_show_rule_keyfield().
To prevent this, add a check for a NULL return value from
vcap_keyfields() and continue the loop if it is NULL.

Fixes: 610c32b2ce66 ("net: microchip: vcap: Add vcap_get_rule")
