Subject: [PATCH net] net: fec: Coverity issue: Dereference null return value

From: Wei Fang <wei.fang@....com>

The build_skb might return a null pointer but there is no check on the
return value in the fec_enet_rx_queue(). So a null pointer dereference
might occur. To avoid this, we check the return value of build_skb. If
the return value is a null pointer, the driver will recycle the page and
update the statistic of ndev. Then jump to rx_processing_done to clear
the status flags of the BD so that the hardware can recycle the BD.
