Subject: [PATCH 3.17 122/141] netfilter: nf_tables: check for NULL in nf_tables_newchain pcpu stats allocation

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

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

From: Sabrina Dubroca <sd@...asysnail.net>

commit c123bb7163043bb8f33858cf8e45b01c17dbd171 upstream.

alloc_percpu returns NULL on failure, not a negative error code.

Fixes: ff3cd7b3c922 ("netfilter: nf_tables: refactor chain statistic routines")
