IB/rxe: check for allocation failure on elem
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> Signed-off-by: Doug Ledford <dledford@redhat.com>
