[PATCH 4.5 035/124] sh_eth: fix NULL pointer dereference in sh_eth_ring_format()

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

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

------------------

From: Sergei Shtylyov <sergei.shtylyov@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit c1b7fca65070bfadca94dd53a4e6b71cd4f69715 ]

In a low memory situation, if netdev_alloc_skb() fails on a first RX ring
loop iteration  in sh_eth_ring_format(), 'rxdesc' is still NULL.  Avoid
kernel oops by adding the 'rxdesc' check after the loop.
