Subject: [PATCH] HID: wacom: handle kzalloc() allocation failure in wacom_wac_queue_flush() 

During wacom_wac_queue_flush() the code calls 
kzalloc() to allocate a zero initialised buffer 
which it uses as a storage buffer to get data 
from the fifo via kfifo_out(). However it does not
check kzalloc() for allocation failure which returns 
NULL and could potentially lead to a NULL deref.
 
Fix this by checking for kzalloc() failure and skipping
the current entry if allocation failure occurs.

Fixes: 5e013ad20689 ("HID: wacom: Remove static WACOM_PKGLEN_MAX limit")
