Subject: [PATCH 5.17 245/343] qede: confirm skb is allocated before using

From: Jamie Bainbridge <jamie.bainbridge@...il.com>

[ Upstream commit 4e910dbe36508654a896d5735b318c0b88172570 ]

qede_build_skb() assumes build_skb() always works and goes straight
to skb_reserve(). However, build_skb() can fail under memory pressure.
This results in a kernel panic because the skb to reserve is NULL.

Add a check in case build_skb() failed to allocate and return NULL.

The NULL return is handled correctly in callers to qede_build_skb().

Fixes: 8a8633978b842 ("qede: Add build_skb() support.")
