[PATCH] e100: Add a check after pci_pool_create to avoid null pointer dereference

[Jia-Ju Bai]

The driver lacks the check of nic->cbs_pool after pci_pool_create
in e100_probe. When this function is failed, a null pointer dereference 
occurs when pci_pool_alloc uses nic->cbs_pool in e100_alloc_cbs.
This patch adds a check and related error handling code to fix it.
