The assignment of pointer port with a dereference of pointer cxl_port
occurs before cxl_port is null checked. Fix this by only assigning port
once cxl_port has been null checked.

Addresses-Coverity: ("Dereference before null check")
Fixes: b7ca54b62551 ("cxl/core: Split decoder setup into alloc + add")
