Subject: [net-next 01/12] ixgbe: Return error on failure to allocate mac_table

From: Alexander Duyck <aduyck@...antis.com>

Add a check to make certain mac_table was actually allocated and is not
NULL.  If it is NULL return -ENOMEM and allow the probe routine to fail
rather then causing a NULL pointer dereference further down the line.
