coresight: tmc: Smatch: Fix potential NULL pointer dereference 

Based on the following report from Smatch, fix the potential
NULL pointer dereference check.

The patch 743256e214e8: "coresight: tmc: Clean up device specific
data" from May 22, 2019, leads to the following Smatch complaint:

    drivers/hwtracing/coresight/coresight-tmc-etr.c:625 tmc_etr_free_flat_buf()
    warn: variable dereferenced before check 'flat_buf' (see line 623)

drivers/hwtracing/coresight/coresight-tmc-etr.c
   622		struct etr_flat_buf *flat_buf = etr_buf->private;
   623		struct device *real_dev = flat_buf->dev->parent;
                                          ^^^^^^^^^^
The patch introduces a new NULL check

   624
   625		if (flat_buf && flat_buf->daddr)
                    ^^^^^^^^
but the existing code assumed it can be NULL.

   626			dma_free_coherent(real_dev, flat_buf->size,
   627					  flat_buf->vaddr, flat_buf->daddr);
