Subject: [PATCH] thunderbolt: Check for null pointer after calling kmemdup in icm_handle_event

As the possible failure of the allocation, kmemdup() may return NULL
pointer.
Like alloc_switch(), it might be better to check it.
Therefore, icm_handle_event() should also check the return value of
kmemdup().
If fails, just free 'n' and directly return is enough, same as the way
to handle the failure of kmalloc().

Fixes: f67cf491175a ("thunderbolt: Add support for Internal Connection Manager (ICM)")
