Function mt7615_coredump_work will call vzalloc to allocate a large amount
of memory space, the size of which is 1300KB. There should be a null
pointer check after vzalloc. Otherwise, when the memory allocation fails
and returns NULL, the function will cause kernel crash.

I guess the kernel will not crash here since we check the dump pointer in the
while loop, we will just flush the msg_list queue.
