API qedf_link_update() is getting called from QED but by that time
shost_data is not initialised. This results in a NULL pointer dereference
when we try to dereference shost_data while updating supported_speeds.
Add a NULL pointer check before dereferencing shost_data.
Affected configurations
• linux linux kernel (>= 4.11 < 5.10.40)
• linux linux kernel (>= 5.11 < 5.12.7)
• linux linux kernel 5.13
