[PATCH] mm/vmalloc: Add check for KMEM_CACHE

From: Jiasheng Jiang
Date: Wed Nov 23 2022 - 23:02:44 EST


As KMEM_CACHE may return NULL pointer, it should
be better to check the return value in order to
avoid NULL pointer dereference in kmem_cache_zalloc.

Fixes: 68ad4a330433 ("mm/vmalloc.c: keep track of free blocks for vmap allocation")
