From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Currently if card_fw fails to be allocated then a null pointer
dereference occurs on card_fd when calling csio_hw_prep_fw. Fix this
by checking for a failed allocation and returning -ENOMEM.
Detected by CoverityScan, CID#1271213 ("Dereference null return value")
