Subject: [PATCH net v3 1/2] e100: Fix a null pointer deference in e100_probe

The driver lacks the check of nic->cbs_pool after pci_pool_create
in e100_probe. So when this function is failed, the null pointer
dereference occurs when pci_pool_alloc uses nic->cbs_pool in e100_alloc_cbs.
This patch fixes this problem, and it has been tested on the hardware.
