drivers/net/fs_enet: remove null pointer dereference

The following code appears in the function fs_init_instance in the file drivers/net/fs_enet/fs_enet-main.c.

	if (fep->ops == NULL) {
		printk(KERN_ERR DRV_MODULE_NAME
		       ": %s No matching ops found (%d).\n",
		       ndev->name, fpi->fs_no);
		err = -EINVAL;
		goto err;
	}

This code implies that at the point of err, fep->ops can be NULL, so an
extra test is needed before dereferencing this value.

This problem was found using the following semantic match
(http://www.emn.fr/x-info/coccinelle/)

expression E, E1;
