Add null check on kmalloc() return value in order to prevent
a null pointer dereference.

Addresses-Coverity-ID: 1467429 ("Dereference null return value")
Fixes: 37c3347eb247 ("net: thunderx: add ndo_set_rx_mode callback implementation for VF")
Signed-off-by: Gustavo A. R. Silva <gustavo@embeddedor.com>
---
Changes in v2:
 - Add a null check on a second kmalloc a few lines below. Thanks to
   Eric Dumazet for pointing this out.

So now you leak memory :/

If you fix bugs, please do not add new ones.

Oh god. I'm sorry.

I had problems with this file since the beginning.

Hi guys,

Please give me couple days to workout solution for this.
I'll post patch for this as soon as I done with my testing.
