Subject: [PATCH v2] mmc: core: Delete an error message for a failed memory
 allocation in four functions

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@...rs.sourceforge.net>
Date: Fri, 19 May 2017 13:15:27 +0200

Omit an extra message for a memory allocation failure in these functions.

This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.

v2:
This refactoring superseded the update suggestion "mmc: core: Delete
an error message for a failed memory allocation in three functions"
from 2017-05-13 because another adjustment was requested by Ulf Hansson.
