IB/hfi1: Fix NULL pointer dereference when invalid num_vls is used



When an invalid num_vls is used as a module parameter, the code
execution follows an exception path where the macro dd_dev_err()
expects dd->pcidev->dev not to be NULL in hfi1_init_dd(). This
causes a NULL pointer dereference.

Fix hfi1_init_dd() by initializing dd->pcidev and dd->pcidev->dev
earlier in the code. If a dd exists, then dd->pcidev and
dd->pcidev->dev always exists.

BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference
