[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] examples/fips_validation: fix null pointer dereferences

[Chaitanya Babu Talluri]

One issue caught by Coverity 343408
*deref_parm: Directly dereferencing parameter val->val.

In writeback_tdes_hex_str(), tmp_val is initialised to null.
tmp_val.val is updated only if keys are found.
If keys are not found,it doesn't fails but continues
to invoke writeback_hex_str(),where val->val is accessed
without null check.

The fix is to return the error,
if keys are not found in writeback_tdes_hex_str().

Coverity issue: 343408
