if rtlpriv->use_new_trx_flow == true and we run out of memory
to alloc a new skb, we will directly jump to no_new tag with
buffer_desc == NULL. Then we will dereference this NULL pointer
in function _rtl_pci_init_one_rxdesc.

Is the attached patch OK? I have tested it, but it is unlikely that I have
hit any memory failures, thus that part needs to be checked by eye.

Looks good to me. Thanks very much for your review.
