Subject: [PATCH 4.9 074/177] libertas: check return value of alloc_workqueue

4.9-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Pan Bian <bianpan2016@....com>


[ Upstream commit dc3f89c38a8406554ffeffa370aad086a9c5e9de ]

Function alloc_workqueue() will return a NULL pointer if there is no
enough memory, and its return value should be validated before using.
However, in function if_spi_probe(), its return value is not checked.
This may result in a NULL dereference bug. This patch fixes the bug.
