There are no null pointer checking on rd_info and td_info values which
are allocated by kzalloc. It has potential null pointer dereferencing
issues. Add return when allocation is failed.

I think the bugs you found are right.
But your patch is not correct, because it is dangerous to return directly.
I think you should return an error and then implement error handling code for these functions.
