Found with clang static analysis:
lib/librte_vhost/virtio_net.c:723:17: warning:
Access to field 'data_off' results in a dereference of a null pointer
(loaded from variable 'tcp_hdr')
        m->l4_len = (tcp_hdr->data_off & 0xf0) >> 2;
                     ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Fixes: 2a51b1091cb5 ("vhost: support indirect descriptor in non-mergeable Rx")
