In fuse_simple_request func, we will call fuse_request_alloc func to alloc one request from fuse_req_cachep when args->force is true. However, the return value of fuse_request_alloc func is not checked whether it is NULL. If allocating request fails, access-NULL-pointer problem will occur. Here, we check the return value of fuse_request_alloc func.
