[PATCH 4.9 089/177] staging: wilc1000: fix unchecked return value

4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

[ Upstream commit 9e96652756ad647b7bcc03cb99ffc9756d7b5f93 ]

Function dev_alloc_skb() will return a NULL pointer if there is no
enough memory. However, in function WILC_WFI_mon_xmit(), its return
value is used without validation. This may result in a bad memory access
bug. This patch fixes the bug.
