[PATCH v3 1/2] e100: Fix a null pointer deference in e100_probe

From: Jia-Ju Bai <hidden>

Subsystem: intel ethernet drivers, networking drivers, the rest · Maintainers: Tony Nguyen, Przemek Kitszel, Andrew Lunn, "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Linus Torvalds

For linux-3.18.0
The driver lacks the check of nic->cbs_pool after pci_pool_create
in e100_probe. So when this function is failed, the null pointer
dereference occurs when pci_pool_alloc uses nic->cbs_pool in e100_alloc_cbs.
This patch fixes this problem, and it has been tested in runtime.
