[PATCH -tip/master] x86: io-apic - restore_IO_APIC_setup NULLpointer quick fix

From: Cyrill Gorcunov
Date: Thu Sep 18 2008 - 15:38:18 EST


Check if memory was granted first - we don't like NULL deref.
It's a *quick* fix. Actually it's better to hadle this error
at moment of memory allocation. It's save_mask_IO_APIC_setup
route who allocates this memory (just for the record).

I'll handle this in _normal_ way tomorrow. Please review.
