Subject: [PATCH 5.10 57/99] sfc_ef100: potential dereference of null pointer

From: Jiasheng Jiang <jiasheng@...as.ac.cn>

[ Upstream commit 407ecd1bd726f240123f704620d46e285ff30dd9 ]

The return value of kmalloc() needs to be checked.
To avoid use in efx_nic_update_stats() in case of the failure of alloc.

Fixes: b593b6f1b492 ("sfc_ef100: statistics gathering")
