[PATCH v2 05/14] common/sfc_efx/base: fix filter saved spec handling

From: Andy Moreton <andy.moreton at amd.com>

Code Analysis notes that saved_spec can be NULL when passed into
ef10_filter_add_select_action and ef10_filter_add_execute_action
from ef10_filter_add_internal.

Fix the annotations to show that the saved_spec is optional, and
add NULL checks before dereferencing it.

Fixes: 585c22edb29c ("net/sfc/base: handle manual and auto filter clashes in EF10")
