Subject: [PATCH 2/5] um: port: Delete three error messages for a failed memory
 allocation

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@...rs.sourceforge.net>

The script "checkpatch.pl" pointed information out like the following.

WARNING: Possible unnecessary 'out of memory' message

Thus fix the affected source code places.
