When the call to kasprintf() returns a NULL pointer, function sci_request_irq() frees the preallocated memory and returns 0 is returned. Because 0 means no error, the caller of sci_request_irq() will keep going, and the freed memory may be used or freed again. To avoid the above issue, this patch assigns "-ENOMEM" to the return variable ret.
