'create_queue()' returns NULL in case of memory allocation failure. So we must check if it succeeds in order to avoid potential NULL pointer dereference. For 'vp->rx_queue', the dereference would occur just one line after the failed allocation. For 'vp->tx_queue', it would occur later during normal processing.
