ALSA: usb - driver neglects kmalloc return value check and may deref NULL
sound/usb/pcm.c::snd_usb_pcm_check_knot() fails to check the return value from kmalloc() and may end up dereferencing a null pointer. The patch below (compile tested only) should take care of that little problem. Signed-off-by: Jesper Juhl <jj@chaosbits.net> Signed-off-by: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@suse.de>
