Subject: [PATCH 061/217] libcxl: fix potential NULL dereference in
 cxl_memdev_nvdimm_bridge_active()

Static analysis points out that the function above has a check for
'if (!bridge)', implying that bridge maybe NULL, but it is dereferenced
before the check, which could result in a NULL dereference.

Fix this by moving any accesses to the bridge structure after the NULL
check.
