Subject: [net-next 07/15] e100: Add a check after pci_pool_create to avoid null pointer dereference

From: Jia-Ju Bai <baijiaju1990@....com>

The driver lacks the check of nic->cbs_pool after pci_pool_create
in e100_probe. When this function is failed, a null pointer dereference
occurs when pci_pool_alloc uses nic->cbs_pool in e100_alloc_cbs.
This patch adds a check and related error handling code to fix it.
