3.16.60-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit e1a7418529e33bc4efc346324557251a16a3e79b upstream.
Currently the allocation of priv->oldaddr is not null checked which will
lead to subsequent errors when accessing priv->oldaddr. Fix this with
a null pointer check and a return of -ENOMEM on allocation failure.
Detected with Coccinelle:
drivers/staging/rtl8192u/r8192U_core.c:1708:2-15: alloc with no test,
possible model on line 1723
Fixes: 8fc8598e61f6 ("Staging: Added Realtek rtl8192u driver to staging")
