Dan Carpenter found a possible NULL pointer dereference issue in function
pqi_sas_port_add_rphy():

   drivers/scsi/smartpqi/smartpqi_sas_transport.c:97
   pqi_sas_port_add_rphy() warn: variable dereferenced before
   check 'pqi_sas_port->device' (see line 95)

Correct issue by moving reference of pqi_sas_port->device after the check
for the device pointer being non-NULL.
