[PATCH] ps3-vuart: BUG_ON on null drv before dereferencing it on dev_dbg

From: Colin Ian King <colin.king at canonical.com>
On the unlikely event that drv is null, the current code will
perform a null pointer dereference with it when printing a dev_dbg
message. Instead, the BUG_ON check on drv should be performed
before we emit the dev_dbg message.
