OvmfPkg/AcpiPlatformDxe: suppress invalid "deref of undef pointer" warning 

RH covscan emits the following false positive:

This is invalid because LocateFvInstanceWithTables() sets FwVol on
success.

Suppress the message by:
- assigning FwVol NULL first (this would replace the original report with
  "nullptr deref"),
- asserting that FwVol is no longer NULL, on success.

What's important here is that ASSERT() ends with ANALYZER_UNREACHABLE() on
failure.
