Subject: [PATCH] erofs: fix a potential NULL dereference of alloc_pages()

From: Xiaoke Wang <xkernel.wang@...mail.com>

alloc_pages() returns the page on success or NULL if allocation fails,
while set_page_private() will dereference `newpage`. So it is better to
catch the memory error in case other errors happen.
