Return value of function app_pipeline_type_find is not checking before
dereference. Fix this problem by adding checking condition.

Coverity issue: 127196
Fixes: b4aee0fb9c6d ("examples/ip_pipeline: reconfigure thread binding dynamically")

Hi Marcin,

Checking p_type at this point is not required, as we already validated the pipeline settings (including the pipeline type) as part of the init code.

But since this code is harmless I am acking this patch just to avoid having the same discussion about this Coverity false positive issue again.

Regards,
Cristian
