4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Pan Bian <bianpan2016@xxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit 9dc7efd3978aa67ae598129d2a3f240b390ce508 ]
Function create_singlethread_workqueue() will return a NULL pointer if
there is no enough memory, and its return value should be validated
before using. However, in function rndis_wlan_bind(), its return value
is not checked. This may cause NULL dereference bugs. This patch fixes
it.
