firewire: ohci: fix NULL pointer dereference in ar_context_release
During the error handling path of the driver's probe function, a NULL
pointer dereference can occur in ar_context_release().
When pci_probe() fails early (e.g., if pcim_enable_device() or MMIO mapping
fails), the devres cleanup mechanism invokes release_ohci(). This function
unconditionally calls ar_context_release() to clean up the asynchronous
receive contexts. However, if ar_context_init() was not yet called,
ctx->ohci remains NULL (as the fw_ohci structure is zero-initialized by
devres_alloc()).
ar_context_release() immediately dereferences ctx->ohci to get the dev
pointer before checking if the context was actually initialized, leading to
a crash:
Oops: general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address

To fix this, move the assignment of the dev pointer after the !ctx->buffer
check. If ctx->buffer is NULL, it indicates that the context was never
successfully initialized and there is nothing to release, safely avoiding
the dereference of the uninitialized ctx->ohci pointer.
