Calls to kzalloc() should be null-checked in order to avoid
any potential failures or unnecessary code execution.
Fix this by adding null checks for _entry_ right after allocation.

Hello, Zheng.

Thank you for a patch, but I won't apply this patch.
Expected behavior is that tomoyo_warn_oom() is called
if tomoyo_memory_ok() is called with entry == NULL.

Adding __GFP_NOWARN might be OK, but returning without tomoyo_warn_oom() is NG.

As your say,  I found the function tomoyo_assign_namespace( )

in security/tomoyo/domain.c has the similar situation,

Can I add __GFP_NOWARN for both and remove the null check for _entry_ in 
tomoyo_assign_namespace( )?

Good catch. Yes, please send as a patch.

Applied to tomoyo-test1.git tree. Thank you.

By the way, since some people automatically backport patches with Fixes: tag,
I think we don't need to add Fixes: tag for patches like this one.
