V4L/DVB (3488): Snd_cx88_create: don't dereference NULL core
If the call to cx88_core_get returns a NULL value, it is dereferenced by cx88_reset, and perhaps by cx88_core_put. Spotted by the Coverity checker. Signed-off-by: Duncan Sands <baldrick@free.fr> Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@infradead.org>
