Subject: net: dsa: Test array index before use

commit 8f5063e97f393d49611151d3cf7dcbeb41397f12 upstream.

port_index is used an index into an array, and this information comes
from Device Tree, make sure that port_index is not equal to the array
size before using it. Move the check against port_index earlier in the
loop.
