In each case, if the NULL test is necessary, then the dereference should be
moved below the NULL test.  I have also taken advantage of the availability
of the value of priv->dev in the subsequent calls to netif_stop_queue and
netif_carrier_off.

The semantic patch that makes this change is as follows:

  ... when != E
      when != i
  if (E == NULL) S
+ i = E->fld;
