Subject: [PATCH v3] staging: rtl8188eu: Fix potential NULL pointer dereference of kcalloc

hwxmits is allocated via kcalloc and not checked for failure before its
dereference. The patch fixes this problem by returning error upstream
in rtl8723bs, rtl8188eu.

Signed-off-by: Aditya Pakki <pakki001@....edu>

v2: Move signed off above version change log.
v1: Return error and remove print in case of failure, per Greg
