fix possible NULL deref on low memory condition in capidrv.c::send_message()
If we fail to allocate an skb in
drivers/isdn/capi/capidrv.c::send_message(), then we'll end up
dereferencing a NULL pointer.
Since out of memory conditions are not unheard of, I believe it
is better to print a error message and just return rather than
bring down the whole kernel.
Sure, doing this may upset some application, but that's still
better than crashing the whole system.
