[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] test/crypto: fix null dereference for crypto op

> In two test cases, the op value is set by the return of the

> value was checked afterwards, which was causing a dereference issue.

> To fix this, a temporary op variable is used to hold the return
> from the process_crypto_request function, so the original op->status
> can be checked after the possible NULL return value.
> The original op value is then set to hold the temporary op value.

I believe the original check was also good. But instead of 
if (ut_params->op == NULL && ut_params->op->status == RTE_CRYPTO_OP_STATUS_INVALID_SESSION)
it should be
if (ut_params->op == NULL || ut_params->op->status == RTE_CRYPTO_OP_STATUS_INVALID_SESSION)

In this way the coverity should not raise an issue for this. What say?
