librbd/internal.cc: check earlier for null pointer

Fix potential null ponter deref, move check for 'order != NULL'
to the beginning of the function to prevent a) deref in ldout() call
and b) to leave function as early as possible if check fails.

[src/librbd/internal.cc:843] -> [src/librbd/internal.cc:865]: (warning)
 Possible null pointer dereference: order - otherwise it is redundant
 to check it against null.
