    staging: r8188eu: add check for kzalloc
    
    [ Upstream commit f94b47c6bde624d6c07f43054087607c52054a95 ]
    
    As kzalloc() may return null pointer, it should be better to
    check the return value and return error if fails in order
    to avoid dereference of null pointer.
    Moreover, the return value of rtw_alloc_hwxmits() should also
    be dealt with.
