Subject: [PATCH 4.14 269/284] drm/amdkfd: Check for potential null return of kmalloc_array()

From: QintaoShen <unSimple1993@....com>

[ Upstream commit ebbb7bb9e80305820dc2328a371c1b35679f2667 ]

As the kmalloc_array() may return null, the 'event_waiters[i].wait' would lead to null-pointer dereference.
Therefore, it is better to check the return value of kmalloc_array() to avoid this confusion.
