Re: [PATCH] thunderbolt: check the return value of kmemdup()

[Xiaoke Wang]

Note: Compare with the last email, this one is using my full name.
kmemdup() return NULL when some internal memory errors happen, it is
better to check the return value of it. Otherwise, some memory errors
will not be catched in time and may further result in wrong memory
access.
