Subject: [PATCH][next][V3] rtc: ds1307: check for failed memory allocation on wdt

From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@...onical.com>

Currently a failed memory allocation will lead to a null pointer
dereference on point wdt.  Fix this by checking for a failed
allocation and just returning.

Addresses-Coverity: ("Dereference null return")
Fixes: fd90d48db037 ("rtc: ds1307: add support for watchdog timer on ds1388")

Signed-off-by: Colin Ian King <colin.king@...onical.com>

V2: move error exit label and remove a return statement, thanks to 
    Walter Harms for spotting this clean up.
V3: simplify, just bail out and return on detecting the out of memory
    condition
