[PATCH] HID: core: fix NULL pointer dereference

From: Gustavo A. R. Silva
Date: Wed Aug 29 2018 - 11:22:51 EST


There is a NULL pointer dereference in case memory resources
for *parse* are not successfully allocated.

Fix this by adding a new goto label and make the execution
path jump to it in case vzalloc() fails.
