[PATCH] net/ncsi: Don't assume last available channel exists

When handling new VLAN tags in NCSI we check the maximum allowed number
of filters on the last active ("hot") channel. However if the 'add'
callback is called before NCSI has configured a channel, this causes a
NULL dereference.

Check that we actually have a hot channel, and warn if it is missing.

Sending to the OpenBMC list for those who are particularly interested, will
send upstream once I've had more time to properly test on a booting machine.
