ALSA: sound/parisc: Move dereference after NULL test

Browse Source 
If the NULL test on h is needed in snd_harmony_mixer_init, then the
dereference should be after the NULL test.

Actually, there is a sequence of calls: snd_harmony_create, then
snd_harmony_pcm_init, and then snd_harmony_mixer_init.  snd_harmony_create
initializes h, but may indeed leave it as NULL.  There was no NULL test at
the beginning of snd_harmony_pcm_init, so I have added one.  The NULL test
in snd_harmony_mixer_init is then not necessary, but in case the ordering
of the calls changes, I have left it, and moved the dereference after it.

A simplified version of the semantic match that detects this problem is as
follows (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/):

// <smpl>
@match exists@
expression x, E;
identifier fld;
@@

* x->fld
  ... when != \(x = E\|&x\)
* x == NULL
// </smpl>
