net: check before dereferencing netdev_ops during busy poll
init_dummy_netdev() leaves its netdev_ops pointer zeroed. This leads
to a NULL pointer dereference when sk_busy_loop fires against an iwlwifi
wireless adapter and checks napi->dev->netdev_ops->ndo_busy_poll.
Avoid this by ensuring napi->dev->netdev_ops is valid before following
the pointer, avoiding the following panic when busy polling on a dummy
netdev:

Commit 79e7fff47b7b ("net: remove support for per driver ndo_busy_poll()")
indirectly fixed this upstream in linux-4.11 by removing the offending
pointer usage. No other users of napi->dev touch its netdev_ops.
Fixes: ce6aea93f751 ("net: network drivers no longer need to implement ndo_busy_poll()") # 4.9.y
