wifi: brcmfmac: pcie: handle randbuf allocation failure
[ Upstream commit 316f790ebcf94bdf59f794b7cdea4068dc676d4c ]
The kzalloc() in brcmf_pcie_download_fw_nvram() will return null
if the physical memory has run out. As a result, if we use
get_random_bytes() to generate random bytes in the randbuf, the
null pointer dereference bug will happen.
In order to prevent allocation failure, this patch adds a separate
function using buffer on kernel stack to generate random bytes in
the randbuf, which could prevent the kernel stack from overflow.
Fixes: 91918ce88d9f ("wifi: brcmfmac: pcie: Provide a buffer of random bytes to the device")
