[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 1/2] timer: fix null pointer dereference

[Erik Gabriel Carrillo]

If the timer subsystem is not initialized before rte_timer_manage (for
example) is invoked, a pointer to a shared hugepage memory region will
still be null and dereferenced when it is checked for validity; handle
this case.

Fixes: c0749f7096c7 ("timer: allow management in shared memory")
