bnxt_alloc_mem() dereferences ::vnic_info in the variable declaration
block, but allocates it much later. As a result, the following crash
happens on my setup:
BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000090

Don't create a variable and dereference the first array member directly
since it's used only once in the code.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
