[PATCH 6.12 788/826] net/9p/usbg: fix handling of the failed kzalloc() memory allocation

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

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

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

From: Mirsad Todorovac <mtodorovac69@xxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit ff1060813d9347e8c45c8b8cff93a4dfdb6726ad ]

On the linux-next, next-20241108 vanilla kernel, the coccinelle tool gave the
following error report:

./net/9p/trans_usbg.c:912:5-11: ERROR: allocation function on line 911 returns
NULL not ERR_PTR on failure

kzalloc() failure is fixed to handle the NULL return case on the memory exhaustion.
