[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

4.14-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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


[ Upstream commit 3eb23426e1749a0483bc4c9b18e51f657569e3ed ]

dev_alloc_skb can potentially return NULL, so add a null check to
avoid a null pointer dereference on skb

Detected by CoverityScan, CID#1454558 ("Dereference on null return")
