[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2] lib/librte_power: fix using variables before validity check

["Min Hu (Connor)" <humin29@huawei.com>]

From: HongBo Zheng <zhenghongbo3@huawei.com>

In function power_guest_channel_read_msg, 'lcore_id' is used before
validity check, which may cause buffer 'global_fds' accessed by index
'lcore_id' overflow.

This patch moves the validity check of 'lcore_id' before the 'lcore_id'
being used for the first time.

Fixes: 9dc843eb273b ("power: extend guest channel API for reading")

v2:
