Subject: [PATCH] net: ll_temac: check the return value of devm_kmalloc()

From: Xiaoke Wang <xkernel.wang@...mail.com>

devm_kmalloc() returns a pointer to allocated memory on success, NULL
on failure. While lp->indirect_lock is allocated by devm_kmalloc()
without proper check. It is better to check the value of it to
prevent potential wrong memory access.
