UBI: don't use array index before testing if it is negative
I can't find anything guaranteeing that 'ubi_num' cannot be <0 in drivers/mtd/ubi/kapi.c::ubi_open_volume(), and in fact the code even tests for that and errors out if so. Unfortunately the test for "ubi_num < 0" happens after we've already used 'ubi_num' as an array index - bad thing to do if it is negative. This patch moves the test earlier in the function and then moves the indexing using that variable after the check. A bit safer :-) Signed-off-by: Jesper Juhl <jesper.juhl@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <Artem.Bityutskiy@nokia.com>
