Subject: [PATCH 3.18 031/134] usb: gadget: Potential NULL dereference on allocation error

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

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

[ Upstream commit df28169e1538e4a8bcd8b779b043e5aa6524545c ]

The source_sink_alloc_func() function is supposed to return error
pointers on error.  The function is called from usb_get_function() which
doesn't check for NULL returns so it would result in an Oops.

Of course, in the current kernel, small allocations always succeed so
this doesn't affect runtime.
