vmalloc() is a memory allocation API which can return NULL when some
internal memory errors happen. So it is better to check the return
value of it to catch the error in time.

This is called in the error section, please just jump to the proper
location and then this line will not be needed.

Unfortunately these patches are not making it to the
linux-staging@lists.linux.dev list. They are on LKML but no one reads
LKML.
Here is the link to the staging archive. Greg's email is there. But
the first email is missing.
