Subject: [PATCH v3] mac80211: mlme: check for null after calling kmemdup

As the possible failure of the alloc, the ifmgd->assoc_req_ies might be
NULL pointer returned from kmemdup().
Therefore it might be better to free the skb and return error in order
to fail the association, like ieee80211_assoc_success().
Also, the caller, ieee80211_do_assoc(), needs to deal with the return
value from ieee80211_send_assoc().

Fixes: 4d9ec73d2b78 ("cfg80211: Report Association Request frame IEs in association events")
Signed-off-by: Jiasheng Jiang <jiasheng@...as.ac.cn>
---
v3: Return error if fails and deal with the error in ieee80211_do_assoc.
v2: Change to fail the association if kmemdup returns NULL.
