Subject: [PATCH v2] ARM: mvebu: Add error handling in coherency.c to prevent bugs

The kzalloc() and kstrdup() in armada_375_380_coherency_init()
will return null if the physical memory has run out. As a result,
if we dereference these null pointers, the null pointer dereference
bugs will happen.

This patch adds error handling to avoid null pointer dereference.

Fixes: 497a92308af8 ("ARM: mvebu: implement L2/PCIe deadlock workaround")
Signed-off-by: Duoming Zhou <duoming@....edu.cn>

Changes in v2:
  - Adds checks to judge whether kstrdup() fails.
