[PATCH v2 8/8] net/nfp: fix tainted scalar

From: Peng Zhang <peng.zhang at corigine.com>

Passing tainted expression 'ectx->fw_info_strtab_sz' to
'nfp_elf_fwinfo_lookup()', which uses it as a loop boundary.

Replace tainted expression with a temp variable to avoid
the tainted scalar coverity warning.

Coverity issue: 415051
Fixes: c82ca09c441c ("net/nfp: add ELF module")
