4.2.8-ckt1 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

[ Upstream commit 248be83dcb3feb3f6332eb3d010a016402138484 ]

In a low memory situation the following kernel oops occurs:

Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000050
pgd = 8490c000
[00000050] *pgd=4651e831, *pte=00000000, *ppte=00000000

This is  because netdev_alloc_skb() fails and 'mdp->rx_skbuff[entry]' is left
NULL but sh_eth_rx() later  uses it without checking.  Add such check...
