[PATCH 4.4 089/266] qlcnic: Avoid potential NULL pointer dereference

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Wed May 15 2019 - 08:14:43 EST


[ Upstream commit 5bf7295fe34a5251b1d241b9736af4697b590670 ]

netdev_alloc_skb can fail and return a NULL pointer which is
dereferenced without a check. The patch avoids such a scenario.
