[PATCH AUTOSEL 5.4 1/5] pm: cpupower: bench: Prevent NULL dereference on malloc failure

[Sasha Levin <sashal@kernel.org>]

From: Zhongqiu Han <quic_zhonhan@quicinc.com>

[ Upstream commit 208baa3ec9043a664d9acfb8174b332e6b17fb69 ]

If malloc returns NULL due to low memory, 'config' pointer can be NULL.
Add a check to prevent NULL dereference.
