------------------------------------------------------
Subject: irda: missing allocation result check in irlap_change_speed()
From: Florin Malita <fmalita@xxxxxxxxx>
The skb allocation may fail, which can result in a NULL pointer dereference
in irlap_queue_xmit().
Coverity CID: 434.
davem: "If the allocation fails we should probably do something more
interesting here, such as schedule a timer to try again later. Otherwise the
speed change will silently never occur."
