Subject: kernel/relay.c: handle alloc_percpu returning NULL in relay_open
alloc_percpu() may return NULL, which means chan->buf may be set to NULL.
In that case, when we do *per_cpu_ptr(chan->buf, ...), we dereference an
invalid pointer:

Check if alloc_percpu returns NULL.
This was found by syzkaller both on x86 and powerpc, and the reproducer it
found on powerpc is capable of hitting the issue as an unprivileged user.
