In lio_vf_rep_copy_packet() pg_info->page is compared to a NULL value,
but then it is unconditionally passed to skb_add_rx_frag() which could
lead to null pointer dereference.
Fix this bug by moving skb_add_rx_frag() into conditional scope.

Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.

The explanation should tell us how the bug can happen, i.e. what
sequence of events leads to null-deref. Not what logic your tool
matched on, perhaps the NULL check is unnecessary.
