[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2 4/5] app/testpmd: fix variable use before NULL check

The value returned from rte_eth_dev_tx_offload_name() function is used
for string comparison before being checked for NULL. Move the NULL check
up to be done first.

Coverity issue: 279438
Fixes: c73a9071877a ("app/testpmd: add commands to test new offload API")
