source is being dereferenced before it is null checked, hence there is a
potential null pointer dereference.

This fixes:
        360
    CID 68911917: (NULL_RETURNS)
        361. dereference: Dereferencing "source", which is known to be
        "NULL".
        361        if (source->mask & event_mask) {
        362            break;
        363        }

I don't think this is the right solution.  The only events we ever
generated are LOG_TYPE_EPOW and LOG_TYPE_HOTPLUG, so in fact source
should never be NULL.

I think the correct way to satisfy Coverity here is to have
rtas_event_log_to_source() do an assert(), rather than returning NULL
for other event types.

Thanks for you reply.
I think you are right, I will send a new version later.
