[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] reorder: add checks for invalid function inputs

[Bruce Richardson]

For APIs which can return an error value, do sanity checking of the input
parameters for NULL and return a suitable error value for those cases.

NOTE: The drain function is currently omitting NULL checks too, but this
function has no way to flag an error value, so checking in that case would
simply mask problems.
