In musb_alloc_request() we could have a kernel oops if
kzalloc() was returing NULL due to not having enough
memory for the allocation.

I don't see where in musb_alloc_request() an oops could occur but it could certainly occur in its caller.

Prevent it, by testing if the allocation was successful
before returning the request to upper layers.

This looks like a fix, so should be queued immediately. Not sure why it's in the same patchset with musb_gadget revamping...

WBR, Sergei
