[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] net/mlx5: fix potential null dereference in port close

The mlx5_dev_close() might be called twice and the priv->sh is NULL on
the second pass.
The DRV_LOG does not check priv->sh and it causes potential NULL
dereference.

Check priv->sh before priv->sh->ctx to avoid the potential NULL
dereference."
