Subject: tun_dst: Fix potential NULL dereference
From: Tobias Klauser <tklauser@distanz.ch>
[ Upstream commit f63ce5b6fa5e9a0faf7a0e1ef2993a502878c78a ]
In tun_dst_unclone() the return value of skb_metadata_dst() is checked
for being NULL after it is dereferenced. Fix this by moving the
dereference after the NULL check.
Found by the Coverity scanner (CID 1338068).
Fixes: fc4099f17240 ("openvswitch: Fix egress tunnel info.")
