[PATCH v3 2/2] staging: r8188eu: check the return of kzalloc()

[xkernel.wang@xxxxxxxxxxx]

From: Xiaoke Wang <xkernel.wang@xxxxxxxxxxx>

kzalloc() is a memory allocation function which can return NULL when
some internal memory errors happen. So it is better to handle the return
of it to prevent potential wrong memory access.

Besides, to propagate the error to the caller, the type of
rtw_alloc_hwxmits() is changed to `int` and another check is added to 
its caller.
Then if kzalloc() fails, the caller will properly jump to the
corresponding error hanlding code.

ChangeLog:
v1->v2 update the description and adjust the sequence of patches.
v2->v3 change `s32` -> `int`.
