Subject: KVM: arm64: its: Fix missing dynamic allocation check in scan_its_table
From: Christoffer Dall <christoffer.dall@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 8c1a8a32438b95792bbd8719d1cd4fe36e9eba03 upstream.
We currently allocate an entry dynamically, but we never check if the
allocation actually succeeded. We actually don't need a dynamic
allocation, because we know the maximum size of an ITS table entry, so
we can simply use an allocation on the stack.
