[PATCH 6.4 631/800] test_firmware: return ENOMEM instead of ENOSPC on failed memory allocation

[ Upstream commit 7dae593cd226a0bca61201cf85ceb9335cf63682 ]

In a couple of situations like

name = kstrndup(buf, count, GFP_KERNEL);
if (!name)
return -ENOSPC;

the error is not actually "No space left on device", but "Out of memory".

It is semantically correct to return -ENOMEM in all failed kstrndup()
and kzalloc() cases in this driver, as it is not a problem with disk
space, but with kernel memory allocator failing allocation.

The semantically correct should be:

name = kstrndup(buf, count, GFP_KERNEL);
if (!name)
return -ENOMEM;
