[PATCH][next] staging: qlge: fix read of an uninitialized pointer

From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@canonical.com>

Currently the pointer 'reporter' is not being initialized and is
being read in a netdev_warn message. The pointer is not used
and is redundant, fix this by removing it and replacing the reference
to it with priv->reporter instead.

Addresses-Coverity: ("Uninitialized pointer read")
Fixes: 1053c27804df ("staging: qlge: coredump via devlink health reporter")
