From: Jiasheng Jiang <jiasheng@xxxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 4a9800c81d2f34afb66b4b42e0330ae8298019a2 ] As the possible failure of the kmalloc(), the not_checked and checked could be NULL pointer. Therefore, it should be better to check it in order to avoid the dereference of the NULL pointer. Also, we need to kfree the 'not_checked' and 'checked' to avoid the memory leak if fails. And since it is just a test, it may directly return without error number.
