Due to the failure of allocating the variable 'priv' in netdev_priv(ndev), this could result in 'priv->rx_bd_v' not being set during the allocation process of netdev_priv(ndev), which could lead to a null pointer dereference.

Move while() loop with 'priv->rx_bd_v' dereference after the check for its validity.

Found by code review.
