Subject: [PATCH] net: wireless: wcn36xx: fix potential NULL pointer
 dereference

If kmalloc fails wcn36xx_smd_rsp_process will attempt to dereference
a NULL pointer.  There might be a better error recovery then just
printing an error, but printing an error message is better then the
current behaviour.
