[PATCH net] phonet/pep: Move call to pn_skb_get_dst_sockaddr() earlier in pep_sock_accept()

[Nathan Chancellor]

A new warning in clang [1] points out a place in pep_sock_accept() where
dst is uninitialized then passed as a const pointer to pep_find_pipe():

  net/phonet/pep.c:829:37: error: variable 'dst' is uninitialized when passed as a const pointer argument here [-Werror,-Wuninitialized-const-pointer]
    829 |         newsk = pep_find_pipe(&pn->hlist, &dst, pipe_handle);
        |                                            ^~~:

Move the call to pn_skb_get_dst_sockaddr(), which initializes dst, to
before the call to pep_find_pipe(), so that dst is consistently used
initialized throughout the function.
