[PATCH][bluetooth-next][V2] ieee802154: ca8210: Add checks for kmalloc allocation failures

From: Colin King <hidden>

From: Colin Ian King <redacted>

Ensure we don't end up with a null pointer dereferences by checking
for for allocation failures.  Allocate by sizeof(*ptr) rather than
the type to fix checkpack warnings.  Also merge multiple lines into
one line for the kmalloc call.

because we have not send you a bluetooth-next pull request yet. I review it and take it through my tree first.
