[PATCH] net/ice: add check for null-pointer dereference

Although it should never occur that the teid (scheduler node id) value
for a txq is incorrect, put in a check for null following the scheduler
node lookup in ice_tm_setup_txq_node. This provides some additional
safety and should eliminate a coverity issue too.

Coverity issue: 448957
Fixes: 715d449a965b ("net/ice: enhance Tx scheduler hierarchy support")
