Subject: mt7601u: check return value of alloc_skb

From: Pan Bian <bianpan2016@163.com>


[ Upstream commit 5fb01e91daf84ad1e50edfcf63116ecbe31e7ba7 ]

Function alloc_skb() will return a NULL pointer if there is no enough
memory. However, in function mt7601u_mcu_msg_alloc(), its return value
is not validated before it is used. This patch fixes it.
