Subject: [PATCH 5.10 572/599] proc: bootconfig: Add null pointer check

From: Lv Ruyi <lv.ruyi@....com.cn>

commit bed5b60bf67ccd8957b8c0558fead30c4a3f5d3f upstream.

kzalloc is a memory allocation function which can return NULL when some
internal memory errors happen. It is safer to add null pointer check.
