The result from a call of the function “kasprintf” was passed to
a subsequent function call without checking for a null pointer before
(according to a memory allocation failure).
This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.
Thus return directly after a failed kasprintf() call.
Fixes: 1227daa43bce1 ("pstore/ram: Clarify resource reservation labels")
