#1720752 — [PATCH] libnvdimm, btt: check memory allocation failure

Subject[PATCH] libnvdimm, btt: check memory allocation failure
Message-ID<uiZoJ-3VU-1@gated-at.bofh.it>
Check memory allocation failures and return -ENOMEM in such cases, as
already done few lines below for another memory allocation.

This avoids NULL pointers dereference.
