Subject: [PATCH 3.14 212/228] crypto: caam - add allocation failure handling in SPRINTFCAT macro

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

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

From: Horia Geanta <horia.geanta@...escale.com>

commit 27c5fb7a84242b66bf1e0b2fe6bf40d19bcc5c04 upstream.

GFP_ATOMIC memory allocation could fail.
In this case, avoid NULL pointer dereference and notify user.
