Subject[PATCH] IB/rxe: check for allocation failure on elem
Date
From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@canonical.com>

The allocation for elem may fail (especially because we're using
GFP_ATOMIC) so best to check for a null return. This fixes a potential
null pointer dereference when assigning elem->pool.

Detected by CoverityScan CID#1357507 ("Dereference null return value")

Fixes: 8700e3e7c485 ("Soft RoCE driver")
Signed-off-by: Colin Ian King <colin.king@canonical.com>
