The call to dev_name will dereference dev, however, dev is later
being null checked, so there is a possibility of a null pointer
dereference on dev by the call to dev_name. Fix this by null
checking dev first before the call to dev_name
Detected by CoverityScan, CID#1475475 ("Dereference before null check")
Fixes: 2a6cb2b1d83b ("reset: Add reset_control_get_count()")
