Subject: [PATCH 4.9 101/271] media: cx23885: check allocation return

From: Nicholas Mc Guire <hofrat@...dl.org>

[ Upstream commit a3d7f22ef34ec4206b50ee121384d5c8bebd5591 ]

Checking of kmalloc() seems to have been committed - as
cx23885_dvb_register() is checking for != 0 return, returning
-ENOMEM should be fine here.  While at it address the coccicheck
suggestion to move to kmemdup rather than using kmalloc+memcpy.

Fixes: 46b21bbaa8a8 ("[media] Add support for DViCO FusionHDTV DVB-T Dual Express2")
