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).
