[PATCH] cedrus: check if kzalloc() fails

[Mauro Carvalho Chehab]

As warned by static code analizer checkers:
	drivers/staging/media/sunxi/cedrus/cedrus.c: drivers/staging/media/sunxi/cedrus/cedrus.c:93 cedrus_init_ctrls() error: potential null dereference 'ctx->ctrls'.  (kzalloc returns null)

The problem is that it assumes that kzalloc() will always
succeed.
