If kmem_cache_alloc_from_sheaf() returns NULL (possible under
GFP_NOWAIT pressure), mas_pop_node() falls through to the out label
and dereferences the NULL pointer in memset(ret, 0, sizeof(*ret)).
Add a NULL check after the sheaf allocation to bail out early.

v2: drop WARN_ON_ONCE — this is a recoverable allocation failure,
not a state that warrants a warning splat.
