Add check for the return value of kstrdup() and return the error, if it
fails in order to avoid NULL pointer dereference.

Fixes: 5d171050e28f ("sparc64: vcc: Enable VCC port probe and removal")

Please just add another goto target later in the function like the rest
of the error paths follow.

And how did you test this patch?
