Subject: [PATCH] loader/bsd: Check for NULL arg up-front
The code in the next block suggests that it is possible for .set to be
true but .arg may still be NULL.
This code assumes that it is never NULL, yet later is testing if it is
NULL - that is inconsistent.
So we should check first if .arg is not NULL, and remove this check that
is being flagged by Coverity since it is no longer required.
Fixes: CID 292471
