[PATCH] RDMA/cxgb4: fix null pointer dereference on alloc_skb failure

From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@canonical.com>

Currently if alloc_skb fails to allocate the skb a null skb is passed
to t4_set_arp_err_handler and this ends up dereferencing the null skb.
Avoid the null pointer dereference by checking for a null skb and
returning early.

Addresses-Coverity: ("Dereference null return")
Fixes: b38a0ad8ec11 ("RDMA/cxgb4: Set arp error handler for PASS_ACCEPT_RPL messages")
