[PATCH 4.14 19/46] kernel/relay.c: handle alloc_percpu returning NULL in relay_open

From: Daniel Axtens <dja@axtens.net>

commit 54e200ab40fc14c863bcc80a51e20b7906608fce upstream.

alloc_percpu() may return NULL, which means chan->buf may be set to NULL.
In that case, when we do *per_cpu_ptr(chan->buf, ...), we dereference an
invalid pointer:

BUG: Unable to handle kernel data access at 0x7dae0000
Faulting instruction address: 0xc0000000003f3fec
...
NIP relay_open+0x29c/0x600
LR relay_open+0x270/0x600
Call Trace:
relay_open+0x264/0x600 (unreliable)
__blk_trace_setup+0x254/0x600
blk_trace_setup+0x68/0xa0
sg_ioctl+0x7bc/0x2e80

ksys_ioctl+0x94/0x130
sys_ioctl+0x48/0xb0
system_call+0x5c/0x68

Check if alloc_percpu returns NULL.

This was found by syzkaller both on x86 and powerpc, and the reproducer
it found on powerpc is capable of hitting the issue as an unprivileged
user.

Fixes: 017c59c042d0 ("relay: Use per CPU constructs for the relay channel buffer pointers")
