[PATCH] tools: lib: subcmd: Fix null pointer dereference

[Tapasweni Pathak]

Add null check before dereferencing ent. ent is pointer to memory
allocated using malloc and is dereferenced immediately without
null check.

Found using Facebook's Infer. Build tested it.

Another option is to dereference only inside if (ent).
