From: Yunjian Wang <wangyunjian at huawei.com>

This patch fixes (dereference after null check) coverity issue.
For this reason, we should add null check of 'mask' before calling
nl_attr_find__() because the 'mask' maybe null.

Addresses-Coverity: ("Dereference after null check")
Fixes: e6cc0babc25d ("ovs-dpctl: Add mega flow support")
