From: Xiaoke Wang <xkernel.wang@xxxxxxxxxxx> commit b352c3465bb808ab700d03f5bac2f7a6f37c5350 upstream. devm_kmalloc() returns a pointer to allocated memory on success, NULL on failure. While lp->indirect_lock is allocated by devm_kmalloc() without proper check. It is better to check the value of it to prevent potential wrong memory access.
