[PATCH 12/12] staging: r8188eu: check the return of kzalloc()

From: xkernel . wang
Date: Tue May 03 2022 - 03:03:11 EST


From: Xiaoke Wang <xkernel.wang@xxxxxxxxxxx>

kzalloc() is a memory allocation function which can return NULL when
some internal memory errors happen. So it is better to handle the return
of it to prevent potential wrong memory access.

Besides, to propagate the error to the caller, the type of
rtw_alloc_hwxmits() is changed to `int` and another check is added to
its caller.
Then if kzalloc() fails, the caller will properly jump to the
corresponding error hanlding code.
