net: dsa: don't dereference NULL extack in dsa_slave_changeupper()

Browse Source 
When a driver returns -EOPNOTSUPP in dsa_port_bridge_join() but failed
to provide a reason for it, DSA attempts to set the extack to say that
software fallback will kick in.

The problem is, when we use brctl and the legacy bridge ioctls, the
extack will be NULL, and DSA dereferences it in the process of setting
it.

Sergei Antonov proves this using the following stack trace:

Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000000
PC is at dsa_slave_changeupper+0x5c/0x158

Fix the problem by only overriding the extack if non-NULL.
