Subject: [PATCH] soc: qcom: rpmpd: Check for null return of devm_kcalloc

Because of the possible failure of the allocation, data->domains might
be NULL pointer and will cause the dereference of the NULL pointer
later.
Therefore, it might be better to check it and directly return -ENOMEM
without releasing data manually if fails, because the comment of the
devm_kmalloc() says "Memory allocated with this function is
automatically freed on driver detach.".

Fixes: bbe3a66c3f5a ("soc: qcom: rpmpd: Add a Power domain driver to model corners")
