The pointer cf is being null checked earlier in the code, however the
update of the rx_bytes statistics is dereferencing cf without null
checking cf.  Fix this by moving the statement into the following code
block that has a null cf check.

Addresses-Coverity: ("Dereference after null check")
Fixes: 8537257874e9 ("can: etas_es58x: add core support for ETAS ES58X CAN USB interfaces")

A somewhat different fix is already in net-next/master
