iio_kfifo_allocate returns NULL in case of error.

The semantic match that finds this problem is as follows:
(http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)

// <smpl>
@@
expression *x;
identifier f;
statement S1,S2;
@@

*x = f(...);
  if (x) { <+... when != if (...) S1 else S2
      -ENOMEM ...+> }
// </smpl>

Thanks. Certainly an 'interesting' bit of code :(

Applied to the fixes-togreg branch of iio.git. Giving timing in the current cycle and that it isn't a recent regression, this won't go
in now until after 3.13 is released.

I've marked it for stable as well
