Subject: [net 3/8] net/mlx5e: Fix NULL deref in mlx5e_tir_builder_alloc()

From: Elena Salomatkina <esalomatkina@...ras.ru>

In mlx5e_tir_builder_alloc() kvzalloc() may return NULL
which is dereferenced on the next line in a reference
to the modify field.

Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.
