[PATCH] Missing failure handling

[takis@lumumba.uhasselt.be (Panagiotis Issaris)]

From: Panagiotis Issaris <takis@issaris.org>

The PPP code contains two kmalloc()s followed by memset()s without
handling a possible memory allocation failure. (Suggested by 
Joe Perches).

And furthermore, conversions from kmalloc+memset to kzalloc.
