Subject: [PATCH 3.18 34/38] igb: check memory allocation failure

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

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

From: Christophe JAILLET <christophe.jaillet@...adoo.fr>


[ Upstream commit 18eb86362a52f0af933cc0fd5e37027317eb2d1c ]

Check memory allocation failures and return -ENOMEM in such cases, as
already done for other memory allocations in this function.

This avoids NULL pointers dereference.
