Subject: net: dsa: Ensure validity of dst->ds[0]

From: Florian Fainelli <f.fainelli@gmail.com>


[ Upstream commit faf3a932fbeb77860226a8323eacb835edc98648 ]

It is perfectly possible to have non zero indexed switches being present
in a DSA switch tree, in such a case, we will be deferencing a NULL
pointer while dsa_cpu_port_ethtool_{setup,restore}. Be more defensive
and ensure that dst->ds[0] is valid before doing anything with it.
